Let iTunes manage my music?


Recommended Posts

I have a massive directory of music filled with tons of deeper directories. Right now, I have iTunes just playing music from these folders without it actually managing my music.

What do fellow iTunes users do? The reason I have iTunes not manage my music is because I have extra things like scanned covers, etc. in the folders and I think I would not have that if I let iTunes copy all my music and arrange it all in one folder.

For the scanned covers, just use iTunes to embed the album art into the audio files. If you've scanned more than the cover (like booklets), iTunes can manage the PDF files and keep them alongside your album.

The worst thing I ever did to my music collection was let itunes manage it. It copied everything into other folders - doubling my music collection. I think it also meesed up a bunch of id3 tags

I used to let iTunes manage, but now I have my collection on external drive is suites better to manually manage my music, I don't want iTunes moving stuff on to my C drive, I often change my music on my iPhone and can change a couple of Gig and re-sync in less than a hour. J

Why not just tell iTunes that its music folder is on your other drive?

The thing is, sometimes my covers disappear, so it's nice to have them in the music folders in case I need to reapply. And what's this about a PDF that iTunes can store?
