It doesn't seem to work. In the end, I cannot delete the files from the "Missing Files":

It's because you can't delete files from a playlist me thinks. You have to delete them selecting them in your library.

You can't delete files from a "Smart" playlist as they are added and removed to/from the playlist based on the rules in place. You can however delete files from a standard (static) playlist as the playlist content is defined by the user.

Continuing further down the page linked in the original post:

The guys states that apple had made an update to editabilty of smart playlists. His September 2009 should work in the current version of itunes

Cool - I'll try this if it becomes necessary.

While we're on the topic of Itunes, though: does anyone know if there's a way to drag your entire music folder into Itunes, and have Itunes only add to the library files
and folders that have not already been added to the library? I have the library on one internal disk and on one external, and keeping them synchronised is a pain in the
arse.
