My itunes songs can't be located =(?

Question

About 2 weeks ago next to a couple of songs there appeared these little exclamation marks in grey circles which I laterr found wer something called..'missing files icon' and when I tried to play those songs it wouldn't work but came up with a sign saying ''The song could not be used because thee original file could not be found.Would you like to locate it'' so i tried but the songs seemed to have vanished from my files? Now 22 of them have that problem including all the songs from one cd. I cant find any help from itunes and its kinda driving me crazy cos some of my fave songs I can play anymore,,please reply =(

Answer 1

They have obviously been deleted, iTunes searches for the path of the song, and if you have moved it, deleted it or renamed it then it cannot find it.

Search for the mp3 title through windows and when found double click it and it will return to itunes library.
