Song missing from library

I have ~2,000 songs in my iTunes library, but a very small number (3?)

have gone missing and have "!" marks in front of their names.  But

finding the 3 that are missing by scrolling the library is like looking

for 3 needles in a haystack.  How can I ask iTunes to list just the songs

that are missing?

Thanks for this.  I'm kinda iTunes-clueless & must have misunderstood something you wrote.  I created a Found playlist under All Playlists as you suggested.  But when I got to New Smart Playlist options, I got the wrong result when I used the following:


¶ "Match" checked

¶ "Music" from the list after that

¶ "Name" from the list after that

¶ "does not contain" from the list after that

¶ "lost" in the following fill-in

¶ clicked "OK"


The result was a list of 1992 songs.  What am I doing wrong?
