Vanishing iTunes files

[Zoidberg]

Funny you should mention this -- and l'm glad you solved your particular issue with it -- but I know over the years I've had song files disappear a few times. Either the link in iTunes gets the exclamation point and then it's not findable on the drive, or it disappears entirely from the library (kind of Twilight Zone like; I know I bought/ripped it, but it's not there).
