Help please files cannot be located

On rekordbox on my mac 1009 songs of my collection are now missing their location. I imported them from playlists in itunes and haven't changed anything and a couple of hundred other songs are there and are able to use. I get a message that says "track loading error file cannot be located" with these tracks.

Anyone know why this is happening and if there is a quicker way then going through each track individually

@Barry > Chances are you're allowing iTunes to manage the file locations (check the iTunes preferences and look at the Advanced tab):

If you change ANY of the metadata listed there, iTunes will automatically rename or move the file for you.

You have two choices...

1) relocate the songs manually - this could be time consuming depending on how they've all been moved since you won't likely be able to do a global relocation (a global relocation is if you moved all that music by one scope; for example, it used to be in a folder named "Music" and now it's in a folder named "Old Music" -- all of the music moved by the same amount, so the system can relocate it all easily)

2) remove the missing files and re-sync them -- after disabling that preference in iTunes.
