ITunes Creating Dupilcate Music Files on my Computer

Having investigated thoroughly I can say that, when creating a library or at some point during sychronisation, iTunes is...
1) Creating duplicate mp3 files on my PC's hard drive, i.e. two copies of every song on an album;
2) Splitting songs out of compilation directories and creating new directories by artist for each song, e.g. my compilation album directory for 'Punk Jubilee' no longer exists and, in its place, I now have 20 or so new directories in the root of 'My Music' containing one song for each of the respective artists.
3) Similar to (2) as above, where an artist is named as supporting another artist on a song on their album, a new directory is created referencing both artists containing the song in question.
All very odd. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Chris.

Having researched further I think the affect is due to allowing iTunes to 'keep iTunes music folder organised' - see advanced tab on preferences. Simple solution is to set the sync option in preferences to warning you if it is to change ANY data on your computer and to also disable auto synching of music. Also, keep a backup of your music library just in case iTunes somehow manages to screw it up. Whoever designed the iTouch/iPhone deserves a medal. The designer of iTunes deserves to be shot!

I have two different itunes music files on my computer. How do I combine them into one file?

I have two different itunes music files on my computer. How do I combine them into one file?

I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

Itunes 'lost' my music files

This appears to be the result of a problem while I was syncing my iPod. During a standard syncing process, it appeared that iTunes was pulling music files from a location on a home server that I didn't want. I stopped the sync process and most of my music and all my playlists have now disappeared.
Now iTunes 7.4.2.4 can't seem to 'see' 2/3 of my music library or any of my playlists. I've been using it for a couple of years with no real problems. All my music files/folders are still in the iTunes folder on my hard drive but iTunes doesn't see them.

Are you saying that there is no music on your iPod and in your iTunes library on your computer?
- Try resetting the iPOd. Nothng is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reboot the computer

I have different music files all over three computers. Everytime I connect my iPod to one of these computers it transfer the music files from that computer but delete the music files that I already have in my iPod. I want all my music in my iPod.

I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

My playlist appears in itunes, but the music files have mysteriously disappeared in my iTunes Media file. Is there a way to recover them? Tried searching and cannot find them.

Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play. Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

How to I remove music files from my computer through Itunes?

I had to reinstall itunes and create a whole new library. All my music is kept on an external hard drive which I keep plugged into my laptop, and Itunes reads the files from that. Before I had to reinstall, when I tried to delete a file, a pop up would ask me if I'd like to remove it from my computer as well as my library. This is no longer happening. All I get now is just a warning asking me if I'm sure I want to delete from the library. What do I do to fix this???? I have a lot of music I need to go through and clean up and I really need this option.

Ok..got it thanks! But, that leads me to my next question. I have over 140GB of music on an external hard drive that I want in my library. I know I can set the media folder to that external drive, but when I add the songs to my library, it would copy the files into that folder and not just move them meaning I'd have double the files on my drive? Is there a way to set it so it just transfers the files directly to the media folder and keeps them there?
Drag the file into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, which can be found in your iTunes Media folder. iTunes will add the file to your library and will immediately move it to an Artist/Album folder and you will end up with only a single copy. Try it now with one file so you can see how it works, before doing larger batches.

Missing itunes music files not on computer

When I purchase songs from iTunes it makes my computer freeze and then crash. After my computer crashed about a month ago we got it fixed but all my music files were missing. I had most of my music on an external hard drive and most of my music is now back on my computer. I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to get my missing songs back without rebuying them? I have kept all my receipts if needed. I ran into this problem before with an older computer and I was told to "check for purchases," which I did. There is about 25-35 songs that I'm missing.

*I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to get my missing songs back without rebuying them?*
If you have no other back-up of your purchases to restore from (CDs/DVDs for example) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Cannot use iTunes to transfer music files except for one computer login.

Info: We have 2 laptops in our home, both on Windows Vista SP2. Both iTunes 10.5. I recently got an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1, on Verizon, 8 GB.
I have only one Apple ID as far as I can tell, but I do remember being forced to change my login name to an email address, and make my password more complex. During that time, I think my other laptop was inoperative. I had to install a new hard drive and reinstall Windows and all apps from scratch. The two laptops do not have identical music libraries.
Apps sync only on the first computer and user login I used the iPhone on. The other computer doesn't show the same apps and warns me that if I sync with it I might replace the apps on the phone with what's in its apps list. How do you ensure that either laptop can sync the iPhone without wiping the content off? I want to backup to both laptops.
I cannot transfer any of my music files from the second laptop at all. I get a cursor with the red slash circle. I can transfer files on the original computer, but I have to be logged on as the one computer user account. It's like every connection except this one computer account can maintain my iPhone properly.
Anyone else have a similar problem or have a fix?

Use only one computer as the mother ship to sync with a device.

I had to transferr my music files from one computer to another by directly copying the files from the hard drive to a new drive. Itunes recognized the files and I was able to load in new songs. The new songs won't sync with ipod. Ideas?

To copy the files I had to remove the hard drive and direct copy them to an expansion drive on another machine. ITunes recognized the copied files and operates correctly on the computer. I was able to download additional songs to ITunes on the computer without problem. The IPod however will not recognize the new songs, does an abreviated sync process and gives a message that the IPod cannot sync because files are being used by another application. It is also does not want to accept the disconnect command. Any suggestions on how to solve the sync problem?

how did you save the songs? can you play the songs? have you restarted the computer?
