Media Library & removable media

[djohnson123]

I have a lot of music files ( > 115 days )on my USB hard drive and occasionally need to copy some files to DVD so I can free up space on the hard drive. The problem is that after the files are removed from the hard drive, they disappear from the Media Library.
Is there a way to have the Media Library keep track of files on removable media, keeping in mind that those files may or may not be visible when the Library is updated.
I think that would be a very useful feature.

Thanks,
Don Johnson
