Do you want to refresh iTunes library?

Last week, one of my friends asked me a question that I honestly believed was funny to begin with. He said, “My music folder had some songs deleted and new ones added. How should I get iTunes to update the library with this new data? Especially remove the songs from my iTunes library that are no longer there on my PC?” Well, don’t you agree that it sounds funny to be wondering how to get iTunes, the amazing software from an even more amazing company, Apple, to refresh on its own? One would think that it must be a simple feature inbuilt in iTunes or something pretty easy to do at the least. However, I was in for a shock to realize that iTunes has no concept of watching a folder. What that means is that it cannot just ‘refresh’ on its own and check on files. Most of the times the only option left, is to manually locate the missing files and remove them. Well, worry not as I have another option for you that will make this job super easy. However, I will list all different methods here for everyone.
