Importing music into iTunes is taking up a lot of space on both my hard drive and iPod.

Is there a way to make the files smaller?

It is possible that Windows wasn't able to calculate the correct size and decided to show some random (?) number instead.<br />
Such issues have been reported in the past.
You can check these locations to be sure as you may have multiple files in the Firefox Profile Folder

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

  • Music stored on external hard drive and iPod no longer displayed in iTunes

    I have all of my music stored on a portable external hard drive. For some reason, when I last booted up my computer the drive name from the external hard drive changed from F:\ to G:\. Unfortunately the source for all the music was linked to the F:. Now the iTunes doesn't know where the music is. I have tried to consolidate the library, but it didn't work. And now nothing is showing up in my iTunes. But all of my music is still stored on the external hard drive and the iPod. Any suggestions?

    Close itunes, go into windows disk mgmt and set the drive letter back to F:
    When you re-open itunes it should be back to normal.

  • I cannot import music into itunes

    I use the request "add folder to itunes" but the files do not appear in my library. Neither does the request "add files to itunes". I am using windows and have the newest available version of Itunes. What can I do to successfully import multiple folders into itunes?

    You don't import files into the iTunes Media Folder. You import into iTunes. Post your iTunes issues in the iTunes forum:

  • Music stored on hard drive and iPod

    Question (and Im new, so be gentle, please!):
    Do I have to have all those tunes stored on my hard disk to use them on the ipod, or after Ive copied the songs to the ipod, can I free up my hard disk by deleting the music from the HD??
    Thanks!
    Acer Aspire laptop Windows XP

    just a note.
    i would not delete the songs. i have had 6 iPods (just buying one, i just kept swapping it out) and every time you get a new ipod or if you have to restore it for some reason, you would have to get those CD's.
    Best thing to do is get an external hard drive (doesnt have to be big at all, just big enough for the music and any more you might add. 250gb will be definatly big enough.) and move your music to that. Then just leave it plugged into your computer and you can listen to that music through iTunes, or just bring it out and plug it in if you need to reload that music.
    Also, then you can have a back up for your important documents, photos, and you are essentially making your computer bigger. Watch the ads in the stores. They weekly go on big sales

  • Itunes on both external hard drive and powerbook hard drive.

    I currently have itunes running on my powerbook G4, but have about 300 CD's that I want to import but wont fit.
    I bought a lacie hard drive with the thought that I could move my itunes application and library onto this external hard drive, import all my CD's.
    What I want to do is to be able to open up itunes on the lacie drive and have access to all my music, but be able to disconnect my powerbook and be able to run itunes on it with the current library I have. Essentially keeping both applications and libraries separate from each other. When I install the application on my lacie drive, open it, change the library location under preferences to access the hard drive, import a CD, this CD now appears on the itunes app I open on my powerbook. Is there a way to keep them separate? How do I create my full library on the LaCie Drive, but be able to still maintain a more limited library on my powerbook in an easy way?

    Hi donnarose -
    My music set up sounds similar to what you are trying to do. I have a 250 GB external drive at home that I connect to when I want to access my entire iTunes library. I have the iTunes app in my applications folder on my powerbook. I kept the original iTunes library file on my powerbook and created a new one for all the music on the external drive. If my external drive is not connected I can ask iTunes to use the library on the powerbook, and when the drive is connected iTunes uses the library there. By holding down the option key when iTunes launches, you are prompted to choose or create a library file.
    That's probably not the clearest explanation, but it's working well for me.
    Good luck.

  • I would like to know how to take the music I have ripped from my cd collection , on to my xbox 360 hard drive,and put it on my ipad

    I have quite a few CDs that I have ripped to the hard drive of my xbox 360, and I would like to figure out how to load them on my ipad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Difficulties Importing Music into ITunes

    Hi,
    I just bought a new 30G iPod about two weeks ago, and I've only been experiencing trouble with iTunes. Most of the cds I import into my library take forever to download, and once the songs finally download, the sound is all staticy and you cannot understand anything. I looked all over the Apple website to figure out what was wrong with it, and I just do not know what to do. If someone could explain to me what is going on and how I can fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.

    try checking your importing settings, and in order to speed up the importing make sure you deselect the option to hear the music as it is imported.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you re-import music into itunes from computer

    I just bought a new laptop and have successfully moved all of my music... 10 gigs onto my new computer. I had a problem in the middle of transferring my music and only a fourth transferred before I installed itunes. I finally finished moving the rest of the music but cant get itunes to import by pointing to the main itunes music folder. when I choose to import.. it makes me go all the way to a song folder with individual music files before it allows me to impoert. Is there any way for itunes to SEARCH for new files???
    Seems like such a simple thing to do but it isnt so far.
    I am beginning to hate itunes. If it were not for the $300 in downloaded itunes purchased music, I would change to Windows media player.
    Can anyone please help?
    I have already uninstalled itunes and reinstalled... didnt help. even my playlist I had created were still there.

    another note... Itunes imported all of the first songs.. about 4 gigs into the new library. This was before I realized that all of the music did not move over to the new computer. I had A - H or something like that moved. Is there any way to make itunes search for new music?

  • Can't import music into itunes from a cd

    I keep getting an error that the disc is full and i should delete files to make more room. It also recommends that I empty my trash. How can I expand the size of the file so I can import more music. thanks dan

    =Troubleshooting CD ripping issues=
    The easiest thing to check is if it is just this CD.  Try another one.  If others work, then it is likely the CD.
    Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max.  Even though you may not want that as the long-term solution it will at least indicate whether the problem is with iTunes or something else.
    If other CDs and rippers do not work, it could be the drive itself, or the part of the computer running the hardware. For the latter some have found a SMC reset to work.

    If you think it is the drive, you can try a cleaning disc (about $10 from a computer store or media store) to get rid of dust.  I haven't had much success with these, though usually I am running some older machine on which I can expect a drive to die after 5 years of use.

  • I appear to have a duplicate library folder which is taking up a lot of space (one outside my user profile and one inside). How do I know which one to delete?

    I seem to have duplicated my 'Library' folder - one inside and one outside my USER folder. (additionally there is a Library folder in the systems folder - but that should be there!).  I do not know which one to delete (both 8-10 GB) Help!!

    There should be at least THREE Library folders:
    1- Inside your "home" folder, the one with your user name.
    2- At the "root" level of your boot volume.
    3- Inside the System folder at the "root" level of your boot volume.
    If it's one of those three, ignore them - especially if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
    If it's some other Library folder just floating around somewhere, you can safely delete it. Note that every user account will have its own Library folder inside its "home" folder, and these you should also leave alone.

  • Importing various folders of music into iTunes

    Hi all. Let me start by saying that I don't own a Windows PC. A friend of mine at work wants to import music into iTunes from folders containing MP3 files, which are already on his computer. The folders (4 of them) contain music from each of his kids. He wants to maintain the music in the respective folders in iTunes (either via smart folders or by some other means), as to not mix and match the music, or have to sit there all day and drag and drop from within iTunes (apparently he has close to 10,000 songs to deal with).
    Is there any way to import these various folders into iTunes (Windows) while maintaining their respective locations/ownership? On my Mac, it's pretty simple- I could either drag and drop from the finder into iTunes, or create Spotlight Comments for each collection of songs in each folder, then create smart folders from within iTunes, and load the songs to their respective folders based on the Spotlight Comments. Any suggestions?
    He's using the latest iTunes iteration, and Windows XP.
    John

    To Import folders into itunes you can go to:
    Itunes-->File-->Add Folder to Library. Before you
    do this you have to decide if you want one library over
    multiple accounts or seperate libraries for each account.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to import music into iPad without using iTunes?

    Do any of of you know whether or not it is possible to import music into iPad, like when you can import pictures, without the use of iTunes ( I don't have a computer)? I have music on my phone and on USB flash drives. Thnx

    If you are in America then you can download your past iTunes music purchases via the store (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). But no, you can't import from flash drives (the camera connection kit can only import photos and videos) or from an iPhone.

  • Can't import songs into itunes playlist folders from itunes music folder

    Ive got to be an idiot. ive had my ipod for years and ive yet to figure this out:
    how do i put music into my playlist folders? The only playlists ive been able to successfully create and use are the ones ON my ipod. but that requires me to plug in my ipod every time i want to hear music at home.
    I've created the playlist folders. They are blue folders, found under the playlists tab on itunes. I select music from the music sections, and drag to the folder, but all i ever get is the Circle and line "No" symbol, i never get a plus sign. Ive ever tried popping the playlist folder into a new window and dragging from one window to the other, and its doesn't work. its there some ridiculous safety feature of iTunes that i need to turn off to make playlists or? I can't imagine that something would be this confusing, but i just don't get it.

    Welcome to AD!
    Sounds like you are trying to drag single music files into a playlist folder.
    You can only drag a pre-existing playlist into a playlist folder.
