Last week i noticed the following post from Scott Hanselman: Removing Dead Tracks (Duplicates that don’t exist) from iTunes using C#. As a good boy scout i noticed that these days iTunesLib.IITTrackCollection inherits from IEnumerable so i rewrote the code a little:

class Program
{
 [STAThread]
 static void Main()
 {
  var itunes = new iTunesApp();
  itunes.DeleteTracksThatDoNotExist();
 }
}

public static class ITunesExtensions
{
 public static void DeleteTracksThatDoNotExist(this IiTunes itunes)
 {
  var tracksThatDoNotExist = FindTracksThatDoNotExist(itunes);
  foreach (var track in tracksThatDoNotExist) track.Delete();
 }

 public static IEnumerable<iitfileOrCDTrack> FindTracksThatDoNotExist(this IiTunes iTunes)
 {
  return iTunes.LibraryPlaylist.Tracks
   .OfType<iitfileOrCDTrack>()
   .Where(track => !File.Exists(track.Location));
 }
}
