It would also depend on how you manage the location, and the type of options you were using, given that Bibdesk is much more flexible than iTiunes. So there is no good-for-all solution for that, and hence no automatic option or a button. A Database Find & Replace usually does a good job for this kind of bulk actions, and allows you to customize what it does exactly. Another way is simply to re-autofile by selecting all items and hitting Cmd-K.
