iTunes Music library vs. music folder(s)
Authored by: zzmcclos on Oct 03, '05 11:19:29AM

Actually, when "File -> Import..." is used on an XML file (as specified above), iTunes copies the XML and the audio content (AIFF, WAV, ...) into the library from the source specified in the XML. When the source volume is unmounted, it doesn't matter - the content is now IN the target iTunes library. Hence, no dead track when the volume is unmounted.

I am, of course, assuming that "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" has been specified in iTune's advanced preferences. That is why the song may be deleted from the source library - as in (optional) step 7.
