oh the joys of getting a new computer. iTunes completely let me down when I tried to give the path preference to the library on the old hard from the old computer drive - mounted in an external drive case. The entire folder is there, iTunes simply would not allow it to be utilized in any way. It still is there - in the forlorn hope that some future revision of iTunes gets its file management done right. Fortunately I had only bought a few songs from iTunes, the overwhelming majority of my songs are rips from albums, reel-to-reel, cassette, and CD. So I just use iTunes for what it is good at - buying an occasional song from Apple - and using something else now to write music and movies to my iPhone and iPads. when I buy a song from the iTunes store, I now immediately rip it to another format and put it with the rest of my library. Being free of the restrictive iTunes feels very secure! My music is not subject to the whims of a piece of software that has funny ideas about how to manage music.
