Most of my songs now have and exclaimation mark beside them and won't play. I get a message asking to search harddrive for the song, but they are nowhere to be found. What a PITA! :/

The songs were deleted. They will still be on your iPod however, so I suggest finding some random program that rips music off of your iPod, then restore the files.

I wonder how they got deleted though?..but thanks, I will do that. :)

they aren't on your HD at all???

Well, I do a search and they are no where to be found. Every day there are new exclaimation marks beside other songs and they won't play anymore. Sure would like to know what the heck is going on. All that great Coldplay boots from the past that are no longer uploaded on the share files are now gone. :huh: :/

Have you done a virus/trojen horse/spyware scan to make sure that something isn't destroying your files?

It IS possible that you accidentally deleted the wrong folder while cleaning up. My friend did that once :rolleyes: . Not pretty

this is exactly what I was thinking... its possible you might have a virus or something... :embarrased:

use ipod agent to rip the songs off.the exclaimation mark appears if the file path changes.for example if you open the file in itunes then move the file to another folder it cannot read the path because it has changed.

there has been a few times with mine though that songs dissappear off my ipod and i dont know how it just skips to the next song.and for some reason every now and then my i tunes simply dissappears off the computer.

have you changed the songs from the current directory?That exclamt marks appears when you do that or......when you delete the songs....

It happened to me with my old computer, don't fret, it's just some stupud bug that Windows has.
