Thanks Stephen (and Sam), I'm not sure the number of tracks bought under the old ID make it a worthwhile exercise. They mostly seem to be old Genesis and Brand X tracks too, which really only work off vinyl while I'm doing my homework. Oh, hang on it's 2014, not 1981. Think I'll stick with vinyl - cleaning the dust off that sounds much more fun than passing the time with an Apple rep on the phone.
I wonder if there's any way of identifying old ID tracks in bulk in the library. Do I have to check the "get info" pane on each one individually?
