Is my music in iTunes app on my c drive?

I opened an iTunes account to buy music and copied some of my cds into my library. Are these on my c drive or are they "at" iTunes?

On your computer, normally at C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>

Right-click(Windows) or control-click(Mac) any item in the iTunes library other than a rented movie, reveal it in the Windows Explorer or Finder, and navigate up the folder hierarchy.

Re-downloads of music through iTunes app interrupts music on iPhone.

When I go to download purchased music through the iTunes app, every time a song finishes downloading, the sound of music playing drops out for a second. Half the time the music stops playing all together and I have to go and re-hit play. The dropout is just like when you get an email during audio, but without the little ding.
I downloaded an album with 21 tracks and for every single track, this phenomena happened. Very annoying.
Is this normal? And is there any way to prevent it?
I'm looking forward to iCloud and iTunes Match, but I don't want this to happen every time I pull music down from the cloud while I'm listening to music.
Thanks.

APPLE! FIX THIS! I bought an album and now it gets interrupted the whole time I'm excitedly listening to the beginning of the album for the first time.
I cannot imagine this in an iPhone comercial because it's super annoying...so that's my standard of features for the iPhone. You wouldn't be proud to show this to future consumers so please fix for the future...I bet you will!

Managing music and iTunes from an external hard drive

I have a large quantity of music that I have downloaded to an external hard drive. I used Windows Media to download the music to the hard drive. What I want to do is keep my music and photos on the hard drive but be able to access the files from my laptop (Mac Book Pro). I don't want to take up the hard disc space on the laptop, so how do I make sure that all future cd's imported go the the hard drive (and not necessarily to the "iTunes" folder), are stored as the individual cd/artist name, and are then easily retrieved by iTunes for burning?

Niel,
You've got me most of the way there! I redirected the iTunes Music Folder location to the external hard drive, and specified the folder on the hard drive that includes all the previously ripped/downloaded music. Then I did the "consolidate library" command, which was successful in putting the minimal music already in my iTunes library onto the external hard drive. Finally, to get all the music from my external hard drive into the Library, I deselected the "copy files to the iTunes music folder when adding to the library" and then "add to library" the folder that is on the hard drive containing all the music I want to be able to browse and select to put on my iPod. Unfortunately, only some of the music came across. It copied about 20 gigs of the music, of which there is 135 gigs of music to copy...???
All I'm trying to do here is maintain a large volume of music (and eventually photos) on an external hard drive, and be able to use iTunes to access the music for placement on my iPod. What have I missed in my implementation here?
Many thanks for you kind advice and help! Scott

Saving music from iTunes library to an external drive so I can upload to my vehicle

I am trying to download my music from itunes and store on a flash drive or mp3 player. My car has a component that allows you to upload your music and it will be stored in the music collection. Lately, I've been burning CDs then uploading but this is very time consuming. Can you download your music from itunes to a flashdrive or mp3 player? If so, how is this done.

Hi Tosca,
Flash drives differ a bit in style and form factor, but the main thing to look for is storage capacity. if you haven't shopped for a flash drive in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised in how many Gigs they can hold for not too much $$.
When you copy files from iTunes to a flash drive, it is a plain copy with no format conversion. If your target system needs MP3, make sure they are in MP3 in iTunes before you start. Some car players can handle other formats too. If anything needs to be converted, see this document:

Back up just some music from iTunes onto an external hard drive

I want to move just some of my music from my iTunes library onto an external hard drive (reason? the music cannot be got again but right now I am not sure if I need it all or not).
So I want to move, say, 50 albums from the main iTunes libraray to an external drive and then be able to move some or all of them back again at later date.
Do I have to copy the whole library over to the external drive and then delete the albums there that I did not want to copy over? Or is there a better way?
And how will I copy back just some of the back-up albums at a later date - is it the normal "Add folder/file to [main] library command from the File menu?

How do i transfer music from itunes to an external hard drive

I'm Trying to transfer music from my iTunes library to an external hard drive. how do I go about it.

If you have set iTunes to organize your library (under Edit > Preferences > Advanced) then all you need to do is:
with iTunes not running, copy your entire iTunes library (by default, C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes) to your external hard drive - if the latter is drive X, you end up with X:\iTunes containing:
Album Artwork (folder)
iTunes Media (folder) containing (the exact list of folders varies with the types of content in your library):
Audiobooks (folder)
Automatically Add to iTunes (folder)
Music (folder - this will contain one subfolder per artist, each containing one subfolder per album)
Podcasts (folder)
TV Shows (folder)
iTunes Preferences.plist (file)
Previous iTunes Libraries (folder)
iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
iTunes Library.itl (file - this is the iTunes database)
iTunes Library.xml (file)
sentinel (hidden file)
When everything has been copied, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes. You'll see this prompt:
Select Choose Library ... and browse to the iTunes folder on your external drive. Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click Open.
iTunes is now running with the complete library (database, media and supporting files) on the external drive.
If you haven't been allowing iTunes to organize your library (which means that some media may be stored in other locations, i.e., not all under C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media) then you need to do the following prior to the steps described above.
In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and check the Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder ...
Then select File > Library > Organize Library ... In the next dialog check the Consolidate files option and (if not grayed-out) Reorganize files ..., then click OK.
iTunes will then reorganize your media so that you can follow the procedure to copy the complete library to your external HDD.
Last point: once you've done this I strongly recommend that you get a second external drive and use this to take a regular backup of your library,

HT1491 Can't access iTunes from my Music, no iTunes app on my phone, unable to delete downloaded apps

After I reset my 4s, I am still unable to go to iTunes from my Music (it used to be on the top corner or pop up after using Shazam). I have updated my laptop iTunes & now am in the process of the iPhone update. I have done the apple id check and pretty much looked through every single option on my phone with no luck. I also have added an iPad to the account. When I log onto iTunes via computer it shows all 3 active. I am able to get to iTunes on my iPad.
The apps I have downloaded are unable to be deleted after resetting my phone as well. I can get them to "shake" but there is no red circle to delete the ones like google, facebook, etc. I have to connect to my laptop, remove & sync to get this done. My iPad is able to delete items on the device without connecting to laptop. Apple store told me I had to come in & offered no advice over the phone so if anyone could offer some before I make the drive, it would be much appreciated!!

Yes for iTunes store to work, you have to be on a WiFi netowork (not using Edge).
Now you may not, but most people have WiFi at home now (they setup WiFi in their house for their computers and other devices), so for those, they just join their network (Settings => WiFi)
Also there are free WiFi hotspots out in the world (Panera Bread, McDonalds, Coffee places, bars, etc). One would join them the same way.

Have purchased music through itune app on my iphone, now my iphone is dead

I have purchased music on my iphone through the iphone app, unfortunately I haven't backed it up in my itunes library on the pc, now my iphone is dead, won't even restore to factory settings, can I retrieve the music already purchased on my iphone or have I lost it all?

On my Win 7 pc, I installed latest itunes and went to the new quick link "purchased" however this only allows me to redownload apps and books,no music. Do i need to wait for IOS 5 for my iphone to enable me to download all of my lost music (as per the site this version of IOS is not scheduled for release until the fall?)
What I find puzzling, is that under my "account details" from the Itunes store on my WIN 7 PC I can see my history of purchases going back to 2005 but cannot download to my devices ?
Any suggestions ?

Music in Itunes App blank.

So I get on iTunes on my iPhone and all seems well except for the music category. The screen is blank. I tried using it through my music player which works but when I preview a song and exit to browse other songs, the minimized song is half cut off. What's the deal? I factory reseted it and blah blah but nothing was resolved. I need help....help.

Hi Macafreak,
I'd like to see if unchecking the "Sync Music" box, applying the changes, and then re-checking the box resolves this issue:

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.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

HT5622 Can you share ITunes purchases across multiple Apple ID's within a family? I want to share my music library and apps with my kids, but not have their ipones tied to my Apple ID. What's the best set-up to accomplish this?

Can you share Itunes purchases with family members without them using your Apple ID?
