Remove iTunes Dead Tracks with ease.

July 16th, 2005

I was having an idea of writing a program that would scan iTunes playlist and remove dead tracks (the items in playlist that does not actually link to a file) from my iTunes playlist and probably publish it as another donationware. But, someone has already done a great job on it. Here is the link to Remove Dead Tracks 1.1. It is a donationware. So, if you like it, please consider making a donation for him.

The installation of this program is not so easy for beginner.

1. First, you have to locate folder called Library in your home directory. And then the folder called iTunes in the library folder you just found.
2. Now, look in iTunes directory if you have already had a folder called Scripts or not. If you don’t have it, create one(don’t forget the capital S). If you have one skip to the next step
3. Now copy the script “Remove Dead Tracks 1.1″ to Scripts directory
4. restart or open iTunes you will find an item on the menu bar that looks like the picture below

5. click it and it will scan your iTunes playlist and tell you have many dead tracks there are and ask you to remove it
