Can't you select a tune in itunes for 9 and hit command-r for reveal original?
This shows a bunch of stuff where you'd expect it to be, but does not include everything. A search under the name of one of the missing items comes up blank.
Huh? Steve suggested selecting the song *in iTunes* and using the "reveal original" function. Are you saying this doesn't work for some of the songs you see in iTunes?

I went back and took a detailed look at what's happening. I highlighted the library item "Separacion" and hit cmd-r. It shows the relevant file, with the name Track1.aif, all alone in Documents / iTunes / iTunes Music / Unknown Artist / Unknown Album. But there is no root-level Documents folder on my hard drive in OS9! I search for the folder using Sherlock, and when I find it, I double-click, and its window opens. I search down through all the nested folders, and sure enough there is Track1.aif all by itself at the bottom. I confirm it is in fact "Separacion" by playing it. When I quit, I find that the missing Documents folder now appears on screen! I remove Track1.aif from its nest of folders, retitle it Separacion, and move it into my main iTunes folder in my Media folder. I launch iTunes and play Separacion. It works fine. Presumably, I can now transfer it into my OSX iTunes library.
I assume, too, that each of the other untransferrable library items on the OS9 side can also be found in its very own hidden nest of folders...
I find this behavior very weird.
