iTunes Music library vs. music folder(s)
Authored by: frickster on Oct 02, '05 02:33:37PM

This seems a bit much. I have three hard drives for music: one external, two internal. In my /user/<me/iTunes/iTunes Music folder I have two simlinks, one for the external FW drive and one for the secondary internal drive.

All of my music sits on either the firewire or secondary drives. New music imported goes to the primary drive, and then I manually sort it because I'm ridiculously picky about how my music is organized.

All you have to do is add the songs to iTunes from the location in which they're likely going to reside, and the files should be located just fine.

Or am I missing the point??

I don't understand why you're manually sorting music folders after you've imported it. Why not just unset the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" preference before importing your preorganized music folders? Do you leave the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" pref unset?
