So I moved all of my music files to my new computer, but when I opened my library of course none of the songs could be found. I'm guessing it's because all of the paths for my songs have my last name in it, which was my account name, and "My Documents" (on this computer it's just called "Keyodie"). I'm not sure how to change just the first part for all 900+ of my songs without going through the songs one by one. Anyone know an easy way to do this?

lol im kinda going through this exact same thing...
I had over 700 songs in my library in the old computer...
but when I got all my songs to my new laptop it said i only had about 200 songs.

What I did was I went to
My Documents > My Music >iTunes >iTunes Music
I copied and pasted all of that to my jump drive

then, I downloaded itunes on the new computer and pasted the contents of the jumpdrive to
My Documents > My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music

I have no idea how I lost about 500 songs... but the ones that are there do play and stuff...

You need to point iTunes at the location of your new library, better yet, just delete all the missing songs from iTunes and re add everything, that way you won't end up with duplicates.
