Hi all,

I've got a new NAS and have moved my music library from the old location to
the new one. The majority of my music is ripped from my own CDs with only a
few tracks bought through iTunes & Amazon.

I've found the instructions on moving the iTunes-managed music - and I
presume this is just the items purchased from the iTunes store, but what do
I do about all of my other music which was added via the "File...Add
Folder
to Library" method.
In theory I can pick through and delete most of the files already in iTunes
then re-add, but is there a quicker / more elegant way?
I have tried googling but either the topic doesn't exist, or I'm not using
the right search terms.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim.
