Okay, my computer is eating my mp3s. Itunes randomly can't find mp3s sometimes. Any suggestions?

Is it that they're not there, when you go to find them and add them to iTunes, or does iTunes just not recognize them when you add them?

itunes will play them for a while, then one day i'll open itunes and a few of them will be missing... still on the playlist, but with that ! beside them.

Defrag and scandisk your computer
Then run a virus scan and look for adware
Your harddrive might fragmented, or it might be something else.
How old is your computer?

try searching the hardrive for them. not often to things randomly delete. though moving files happeneds remarkably often.

you can set (or at least on mac you can) itunes to re-file each of your songs so that it knows exactly where they are. this is good for organizing them really clearly too. and re-naming and being more birtch-full
