Hi all,
I have most of my music (3k+ tracks) sitting in a single folder (with LOTS of subfolders) on my Buffalo network drive.
The main problem is that most of this is inherited music and is very disorganised indeed.
I am slowly sorting it all out; deleting tracks I do not want, removing duplicates and moving tracks to more logical folders. etc etc.
Whenever I fire up iTunes v10 it obviously cannot find all the tracks as they have been moved.
My problem is that iTunes seems to have its own destination folder on my local HD and I keep having to tell it to look on the Network drive.
I then get loads of duplicate tracks and all sorts of other problems and rapidly lose the will to live :lol:
Is there a way that I can tell iTunes to:
A) Store all new additional tracks etc only in my folder on the network drive
B) Only look there always for my music.
I presume that there must be a preferences file or somesuch that I can trash to achieve this but am a bit wary of screwing things up even more.
Any help will be most welcome.
Cheers,
Martin
