Oh. I guess the id3 tags are different somehow, what if you just relocate and tell iTunes where the music lib folder is. Ill attempt to reproduce ur issue when I am at home. What os and itunes version do you have?
I realised eventually that there was a confusion between 500/itunes Media/ and 500 as root. I think I've now found everything after pointing iTunes at the various locations (um, I'd better take back what I said;-))
That confusion occurred when I reset the library location to the wrong folder ages ago, and it consolidated them (or something).
But I did discover you can't import the xml into an existing library (I thought I had done this but perhaps I didn't without creating a new library file, which gives you its own problems)
moral of the story backup backup backup backup backup. Anyone who doesn't have a back-up of their iTunes stuff, it's only a matter of time...go buy an external disk...
