Fred & Carl,

You've got this nailed but there is more.

If you attempt to manage your music files using Finder/Win Explorer you will

not only waste a lot of time, but you are very likely (certain?) to break

the links between the iTunes library (database) and the real files. Who

wants a lose-lose situation?

Oh, and backup, backup, BACKUP.

Otto

PS Fred, could you trim your replies? :)
