How to copy music in itunes

how to copy my music from an external drive disc to itunes

If the checkbox flagged here is checked:
just drag a file from the external HD to the iTunes Music Library (in iTunes, not in the Finder). A copy will be made in the iTunes Media Library and the hard disk does not need to be connected in future.
The checkbox is not checked, the file will not be copied when you drag it, but a reference in iTunes will be created to the original. In this case the hard disk must be mounted before you boot iTunes or the file will show as not available.

  • How do i copy music from iTunes to usb?

    how do i copy music from iTunes to a usb thumb drive?

    If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • How to download music into itunes

    Hii,
    can anyone tell me how to download music into itunes, the present version?

    Buy the music from iTunes and it downloads automatically.
    There is no other way to download content into iTunes.
    Importing music into iTunes is different. Is that maybe what you intended to ask?
    If so, go to File > Add File/Folder to iTunes.
