In Reply to: RE: Can't find my Itunes Music Files on EL Capitain posted by Frihed89 on August 21, 2016 at 07:44:31
trying to locate the files by extension or by specific name?
They may have been moved to a different place.

This is a Mac (OSx El Capitain) Sorry, I forgot to make that clear.
That Mac OS has no way of searching for a file type or name?
You've got to be kidding me.
I can find everything, but my music, and yes...I have trouble navigating the Mac. I only use it to play music. I do have my files backing up and can see the music there.
He's kidding you. There's something called Spotlight in the upper right corner of the Mac screen where you can easily search for pretty much anything.
is simply unaware of that facility.
Surely Mac devised a way to make the following command more user friendly:
find / -name *.aiff -print
Might take some time but traversing the entire disk starting at root is one way to do it! I might grep the output to help find all aiff files where the output has the word Moondance in it, just as an example.
find / -name *.aiff -print | grep Moondance
find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory
find: /dev/fd/4: Not a directory
