Imported music folders windows explorer path

System: Windows 7 64-bit
Itunes: 11.0.1.12
Earlier by importing music folders manually (with option that itunes is managing folders and copy folders to media library automatically) the new created folders for music were put to ...\iTunes Media\Music\*.
But since recently (may be update to itunes 11) the new created folders by importing are saved directly in ...\iTunes Media\*
Can I change the target folder where music folders are created? I'd like to have Music in ...\iTunes Media\Music\*, Audiobooks in ...\iTunes Media\Audiobooks\* as before...
Thanks for help.

Itunes 7.2 cannot import music folders or files!

After the updates, I've installed itunes 7.2. However, when I start to import music folders or music files [mp3 and other formats], it doesn't work or try to import the source to the library! It also happens to my CDs and my backup CDs!
What is going on apple?

I am running iTunes version 7.7.1.11 at the moment. You can verify that you are indeed using the most up to date version of the program by going to Help > About iTunes.
When you say that adding files to the library is not working, what do you mean? Is it not recognizing the files, is the application failing to convert the files other than MP3/AAC to a playable format?
Also, iTunes does not move the original media file to where it is storing the library. By default, iTunes leaves the file where it is and makes a reference to it in its library file. You can go into the Preferences dialog box, select the Advanced tab, and select the checkbox next to "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" and click the OK button in order to have iTunes only manipulate files literally stored in its library.
Does that address your concerns?

Best way to import music folders into new media library

I have searched, but have not been able to find an answer. I have recently just moved my music library from my internal hard drive to an external hard drive. I also consolidated my library so that it will have the new naming convention, etc in the new media library.
I am now ready to import songs/folders into my new library and want to make sure I do it correctly. Is it as easy as moving my music folder to the new external HD music location; selecting file/add to library/ and then selecting the folder? I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly. Thanks in advance!

iTunes > preferences > advanced
1. make sure iTunes is pointed to your external HD
2. check +keep iTunes media folder organized+
3. check +copy files to ... when adding to library+
all new content will be added to the specified location *provided that* the external HD is mounted on your desktop before iTunes is launched.
happy computing !

File -> Add folder to library and select the top level folder where your music is located, most likely \Music\.

How do i import music from windows media player to I-tunes?

can someone please let me know if there is a way to move all of the music i have in Media Player to itunes. Thank you

* To import all the audio files in a folder, choose File Add Folder to Library, and then locate the folder containing the audio you want added to your library. The My Music folder (inside the My Documents folder) is often the default location for song files imported into other applications, such as MusicMatch.
By default, adding songs to your iTunes library places a pointer to each audio file in the iTunes Music folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes Music folder instead of referencing them, search help for "copying files to your music folder."
If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file in AAC format—or whatever format is chosen in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences (in the Importing pane) —and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can't add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.

Import music from windows media player to itunes

I can't import my mp3 files from window media player to my ipod. Can anyone tell me in detail how this is done?

You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

Card reader not recognized in Windows Explorer

My Dell XPS 8500 has an internal card reader. An inserted card was always recognized as soon as it was inserted. After installing Lightroom, the inserted card is no longer recognized by My Computer until after I start lightroom and begin the import process. I would prefer to copy my photos from the card to a chosen file on my hard drive without Lightroom's intervention. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Are you saying Windows Explorer doesn't show the card reader as a drive letter (E: or other letter), but LR does? Please take a screenshot of the LR Import screen and Windows Explorer screens as shown below. On my system the card reader appears as drive I: in both Windows Explorer and LR's Import module:

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

Imported files don't appear in Windows Explorer

I upgraded to 1.1, thereafter every time I import photos thru Lightroom, I can view all these new files in the Lightroom folders section as normal; however, the new files/folders are not present when trying to view them in the standard Windows Explorer thru My Computer; when I archived My Photos to external drive they did not archive over, so they are effectively missing from the hard drive. However, when I choose right click show in Explorer via Lightroom, hey presto they're there and I can access them, copy to other folders etc. I have Windows XP. This is driving me nuts, I'd be grateful for any help. It never happened with 1.0. Thanks.

Peter,
I'm not clear on what you're seeing here. When in LR you choose a file or folder and select Show in Explorer, it opens an actual Windows Explorer window and shows the actual file structure and path. Are you saying that when in LR you choose to show a file or folder in Explorer, and then when you open up Explore outside of LR you see a totally different file structure?
I know this might be a silly question, but is it possible you have your LR files on a different drive or different file structure outside of your Windows default My Pictures folder? You can find out easy enough when you do the Show in Explorer by checking the exact path or just scrolling up the file window and examining your file structure.
If that simple thing doesn't help, I don't know what will myself!:)

My taskbar crashes when I try to open any documents folder. (Windows Explorer, My Library, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Dropbox folder, Skydrive, every folder!)

Hello. I don't know if this is the right category for my problem but here it goes.
Since yesterday, I've been trying to open Windows Explorer folder (which include Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Downloads, Computer, Dropbox, Skydrive, etc.) and as a result my taskbar and my background crashes, the folder doesn't open and then my taskbar
and bg goes back to normal. I searched the problem in other forums but the responses are from last year and this is happening since 29/03/2014 (yesterday) so I don't know if this is a new thing or old. I called my sister because she has this same laptop and
asked her if this is happening to her also and she said it is so I'm starting to think that W8.1 needs an update. Idk :(. We have a Dell Inspiron 15 and it's brand new ! I ordered mine last month.

Hi,
Did you make any change to your system recently? To fix this problem, firstly, you can try to use
SFC /scannow command to fix it for test.
If problem persists, just try to boot your system into Safe mode to test if this problem occures. If problem occures, It would be better to use system resotre to revert your system to a former timepoint state.
To find the reason about this problem, you can use Process Monitor
to capture Explorer.exe when open folder or library.

Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

How can i tidy up folders in windows explorer and have the new names etc recognized by itunes?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a while searching how to do this...
For example: In Windows Explorer, 2 different R.E.M. cd's have come up as different artists names, R.E.M and R.E.M_
Although in iTunes they are both displayed correctly, there are many, many other examples.
One more - a Celtic Box set with 4 cd's... 1-3 are in a 'Various' folder, and cd 4 is in a 'Compilation' folder.
It's not the end of the world, but it's driving me a bit mad, as my ocd is starting to kick in!!
Does anyone have any tips please?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
