It's a real pain when iTunes doesn't see an external drive and forgets where to store imported music so it starts saving it in a new location. Now you've got two locations with folders of music and how do you combine these two and put them back into one location? You can't without a merge function.
I'm trying the CP function in terminal right now but there's thousands of files and I have no idea what the status of the copy is.
Merge folders option when copying/moving
