This is more of a memo to myself than anything else:
The solution is here:
1) Make a static playlist called “All Live Files†and copy your entire library into it.
2) Make a smart playlist called “Missing Files†with the rules set as †‘Playlist’ ‘is’ ‘Music’ †and another rule set as †‘Playlist’ ‘is not’ ‘All Live Files’ â€
3) Select all songs from “Missing Files”; they should all be flagged with a “!”, then use shift-DEL to remove them from your library
