Hi Guys, I have iTunes running on my Mac with the library and 'iTunes Media' folder held locally but all music is on my home server within a folder named Music (I manually manage my music and iTunes references it).

I've now had to move all this music to a new home server therefore:

\\WHS\Music\Rick Astley - Greatest Hits\01 - Never gonna give you up.mp3

has become:

\\WHS2011\Music\Rick Astley - Greatest Hits\01 - Never gonna give you up.mp3

What do I need to do within iTunes so I can update this all in bulk without losing play counts and ratings?

Thanks. :)
 
Well what do you know I didn't need to fix anything, looking at an exported copy of my library all my files are referenced 'file://localhost/Volumes/Music' therefore all I had to do was mount the new Music share. Result!
