Hey,

well today i wanted to convert all my Music in my Itunes libary over to MP3 because i hate apple's AAC format , so i went on the web and could not find any convertors . so i decided to just re-do my libary when importing them, so to save time i burned some using the laptop and some using the PC in the hall, i then send the ones from the PC over the network to my laptop (where i want all my music to be). Then i know i have more than 523 songs so i went into the atual files in explorer and right clicked and went to properties, this says i have 732 files(E.G 732 songs) so i have worked out that the ones i have send over the network have not been added to the atual libary although i put them in the itunes music folder



any idears

You need to import songs using iTunes, it reads an .xml file, it does not check the files within a folder .

so if i go into the folder again and delete all the networked songs and then dragged them across into the itunes screen to add each song that way would that work?

BTW thanks

No, just go into iTunes:

File > Add Folder > Add your iTunes music folder

iTunes 7 is so much easier and user friendly with dealing where your songs are stored, it truly has improved a lot .

woah woah woah hold yer horses, desktop.ini's and album art also count towards file numbers too!

and if it's my guess you'll have a few hundred hidden files in there as well as your music collection!

good point i never though of that...i then went on to realise that album artwork is stores in the file next to that one but u can't see it

am i right in presuming that the non existant problem is now solved?

there was a problem, and i fixed it by using the file>add files.

SOLVED
