iTunes lists my songs twice, please help correct

All the songs are listed twice in its library. The one listed first never plays and it displays and error when you click on it that says the file was not found. I copy and pasted my music from a backup hard drive to My Music folder after my format (on xp32 now) and then i installed iTunes (to sync my new iPod). The files have not been copied twice, there is only 1 mp3 per song in all of the folders where the songs actually are. Anyone know how to get itunes to rescan its library?

:Q, that worked perfectly!

Do you know if it is safe for it to retrieve album art, i am scared to give it access to the net to retrieve it, will itunes then upload the art onto my ipod to view while i am listening to that band?

Yeah. Album art works great for me. A little album cover shows up on the screen when I play a song.

Isn't the album art added to the ID3 tag of the MP3?

I honestly have no idea. Even if it is, the graphics are pretty small so I don't think they'll consume your hard drive very quickly.

You know what my response would be

this is for 4.7 (which is what i'm still using) but i would imagine it's the same deal for any version above 4.7

de-duplicate your itunes
