I plan to move into this stuff after I’m done with school, as most of it is time consuming. It’s a great post to reference back to. My blog needs more time to gain in popularity anyway. Good post!

One way is to search for *.mp3 from your root iTunes music folder. Any orphaned files will have an old Modified Date, so you can safely delete them. I was surprised to find only one orphan (using iTunes 9). Unfortunately you can’t run Applescripts on a PC…. here’s an alternative for Windows people:

It seemed to be just what I was looking for. However, it doesn't seem to work with iTunes 8. I've emailed Doug so hopefully he'll have the answer. Thanks for this.
