How can I identify missing files in iTunes?

Lost & Found playlists

Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.

Not really relevant for a single file, but if missing files exist on the computer my FindTracks script may be able to help reconnect iTunes to them more efficiently than fixing them one at a time.

BTW, iTunes only shows the exclamation marks once it has tried to access a particular track and failed to find it. When you relaunch iTunes it is assumed that every track is where it is supposed to be. Initially there will be no exclamation marks. iTunes doesn't actively check the presence of each file, it will only check when you try to play, edit, or transfer items that are missing.

Can you find it using Windows Explorer (without iTunes)? If so, import it into iTunes using:

Import music from a computer to Apple Music on Windows - Apple Support

Try this FoundTracks script instead. Will be slower, but might not crash.
