    How to recover broken iTunes links?

    Hello to all,
    I have recently installed Leopard in my computer. I had taken backup of my iTunes library. When I tried to import it back, I found that most of it was found, but some not. I don't for what reason is this happening. Can anyone tell me how to recover broken iTunes links?
    Please help me. Thank you.

    First Make new playlist in iTunes with all lost songs -> Now Export the playlist with an XML file -> now Edit the XML file -> You can get this link using following string
    Code:
     "<key>Location</key><string>COMMON_PREFIX/UNIQUE_PATH</string>", so replace "<key>Location</key><string>INCORRECT_COMMON_PREFIX" with "<key>Location</key><string>CORRECT_COMMON_PREFIX"
    Now go to File option and then Import the modified XML file.
