iPod Gurus

I have a friend that has a notebook with an 80 Gb drive and an 80 Gb iPod. He has filled up his laptop's drive with iTunes music. I had him purchase an external drive and using iTunes' directions, we moved his folder to the new drive and set the options to point to it on the new drive. Problem is, he opens iTunes, his music shows up, but to play it, you have to manually find it on the new drive. This is a huge problem with over 5K tunes. Apparently, this is a huge problem as well since a Google shows up many people having the same problem, and Apple seems to have given up on it and refers to their forums hoping someone can fix this problem.

Anyone had this problem and a real fix?

You will probably have to delete the songs in iTunes, then import them again from the new location. That will take some time but worked for me
when I did it that way.
