| # Open up Terminal.app, cd to the directory containing Library.xml, then paste this bad boy. | |

| # What's going on: | |
| # 1. find: recursively print the names of all files under /iTunes/Music | |
| # 2. sed: Strip off the leading '/iTunes/Music/' prefix, since it probably won't be in Library.xml | |
| # 3. while: for each such filename.. | |
| # 4. grep: see if it appears in Library.xml | |
| # 5. ||, echo: if not, print it out. | |
| find /iTunes/Music -type f | sed 's|/iTunes/Music/||g' | while read filename; do grep -q "$filename" Library.xml || echo "$filename"; done |
