PC, Tommy.
Oh.
(There's that iTunes Applescript site that has a script that would address your second issue, but that's obviously Mac-only.)
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.
Is there an easy way to have iTunes find the music without reconsolidating the entire library?
Assuming you're using "reconsolidating" the way they do (meaning, it copies all of the files to your iTunes music directory and so forth) then I think yes. Just drag any folders that your music is hanging out onto your iTunes library - assuming you don't have "Copy to iTunes Music Folder" set in your settings (or if the files are already in your iTunes music folder), then this will add any files it doesn't already have in there to the database. It won't duplicate.
This shouldn't take too long - it can add my entire many-GB collection in about 10 minutes as long as it's not trying to copy the files, and when only a few files are new, it is much faster.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I will give that a try, Gris, just as soon as the artwork searching gets finished (I have nearly 30,000 songs and over 3000 albums, so it's been going for several hours now).

I've found I can select individual albums and then have iTunes find artwork (seems to be successfull half the time) but I've yet to figure out how to get it to search my entire collection and grab all the artwork at once....
ta: OK, now iTunes has decided to find a bunch of artwork. Why, I don't know....

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Does anyone know of a reasonably priced web designer that could put together a site for my author mom similar to Deb Grabien's in execution, if not design? I don't have the time or the expertise to do it, and I'm looking for someone who does.

SA, I think I could do that. It doesn't look too complex.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm having trouble with Firefox since I downloaded the most recent version. First of all I lost all my bookmarks. I followed the helpful guidelines to reload them from the backup...but then they disappeared the next time I opened it.
You might try checking which profile is being used.
Close Firefox, then click Start-->Run and enter firefox.exe -profilemanager
It could be that the profile that is launched by default is in a different folder than the one you've been restoring the booksmarks file to.
