Multiple music files locations- need to be consolidated!

I currently have music in 5 different locations on my internal hard drive (don't ask). I just purchased an external hard drive, and would like to consolidate all the music to that drive in one location. How do I do this without having to "repoint" itunes to the new file location for every single individual song? I can't do that 4,000 times- I will lose my marbles...
Thank you...

Just did this myself. Change the location where you have told iTunes to import files to. Then use consolidate option. It will take a long time depending on total size of files to COPY. Once change is made and verified you can, at your option, delete the original files. After doing this you must always have external drive attached and ready before opening iTunes.

  • Can't change music file location

    Hi All,
    When I go to preferences>advanced>general and browse to change the locations of my Itunes file (on another hard disk partition)I can not get it to recognize. I need to do this since the first partition is nearly full.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Sounds like you did something wrong.
    Everything worked well until yesterday when some bug appeared which necessitated me reinstalling the system software
    All you need to do it start iTunes and hold the Option key and select the library on the 2nd partition.
    When you change the iTunes music folder location in the prefs, iTunes will use that folder to store the music but it will not add what is in that folder. You need to do File -> Add to library.
    Here's what I did:I simply highlighted all the music folders and dragged them on to the iTunes window. It copied everything, except my ratings, and left the files on the other partition.
    Now you have an iTunes library file on each partition. and a new iTunes folder on your 1st partition.
    Not a problem but as you see, you did lose your ratings (and date added and a few other fields).
    All the old info is still in the library file on the other partition.
    As above, start iTunes and hold the Option key and select the library on the 2nd partition.

  • Itunes has lost all music file locations

    Itunes has lost the location of ALL the music files in the library. I have not moved my files so I believe it may have happened when Itunes updated a few days ago. If this is the case, it is not very smart of the programmers! When I locate individual songs, Itunes only finds the other songs that are in the same subfolder, that leaves about 5000 files missing! I realise I can import my whole music folder but this will revert a lot of incorrect track information that I have manually edited over the months.
    I would love some help as all the other posts seem to refer to slightly different problems and can never get around the problem of files being in various subfolders.
    Thanks.

    Hey Lhatcher1987,
    That can definitely be stressful, but there's an article that can help you find the media you expected to appear in iTunes. I'd read through it and see if that helps you find the missing music:

  • My iTunes is corrupted. Where are my music files located?

    Hello! My iTunes in Win8 has become corrputed and won't start. I get an error msg which says that "iTunes Library.itf cannot be read by a newer version". What do I do? Worse yet, I cannot find any of my music files. I have a lot. perhaps 2,500 different individual items, but I don't know what file extension they are, nor what subdirectory they are in.
    It would be several days' work to reload every single CD (I don't want to go there!).
    Does anyone on the list have any suggestions as to how I can get iTunes reloaded or fixed?

    You cannot look at the file structure of the ipod touch.
    You must use itunes to sync.

  • Multiple Music Files: New to MAC

    I am a new MAC user (long time PC user) - I have brought my music over from my PC and it is stored in several different folders in "Documents". I have dragged these folders to iTunes and now have all of my music on. On my MAC in "PLACES - MUSIC - iTUNES - iTUNES MUSIC" I now see all of my songs. Can I now delete all of the folders storing music files from the "Documents" folder? I don't want to delete if I am going to lose it all and have to start over. Thanks for the help!

    Yes you can delete the ones outside the iTunes folder. iTunes makes copies of what you add to its own folder structure and no longer uses the original, so the original can be deleted.
    To check a track and see where iTunes is accessing it, pick the song in iTunes, do a Get Info on the track and in the first tab at the bottom it will show you the file path. If the path shows it getting to it in the iTunes -> iTunes Music folder structure, then you can safely delete any other copies on your hard drive.

  • Music file location. Trying to share music on same computer multiple users

    THE FACTS!!:
    I have a iphone4
    my wife has a iphone4
    my son has a itouch4
    we each have different apple id's
    we have one computer and all different user accounts on this same computer
    Yes I have gone into I tunes on all three user signon's and gone to preferences then advanced and changed the music folder to the same location.
    The problem:
         I will download songs on my iphone
         My sone will download songs to his itouch
         my wife will download songs to her iphone
         We go into our respective user accounts and plug in our devices, and the music will sync, but when I switch over to another user the music will not show up. It will only show on the itunes for the user that sync the music.
         In theory, if we are downloading music to the same folder, wouldn't the song show in each user's itunes music folder, since I chose the same library on each user account for itunes????
    I would love for everyone to plug in their devices and whatever music is synced on any device, it will go into the same library.  ONLY MUSIC!!
    Does anyone have a answer. This is driving me nuts!

         In theory, if we are downloading music to the same folder, wouldn't the song show in each user's itunes music folder, since I chose the same library on each user account for itunes????
    What you really have there is separate libraries sharing a common music folder.  Adding new things to the folder does not cause the other iTunes library to know about it.  If you would like to have this capability, you can use a 3rd party program such as iTunes Folder Watch.

  • Multiple Music Files in Slideshow

    I have a long slideshow (300+ pictures), and am trying to play multiple songs in the background, but even when I select multiple iTunes songs, the first one repeats over and over. Is there a way to play consecutive selections?

    Create a playlist in iTunes and point at the playlist rather than the songs.

  • PC crashed, lost iTunes, but retained my music files, now need to transfer to new PC.

    I have an old PC that recently crashed and I lost all applications.  I was able to get it operational so that I have access to the 90 GB of music stored on the hard drive.  However, iTunes is gone and when reinstalled I just got a new, blank version without my music.  So my iPod Classic is essentially an orphan.
    I purchased a new PC and can move the stored music, but am wondering a few things:
    I have a lot of live music that I spent considerable time formatting within iTunes, is there a way to save that formatting if I have the old iTunes folders?
    Without the ipod having an 'active' iTunes account, is there a way I can use it to tranfer anything?
    For the music that was uploaded to iTunes using CDs, is there a way to migrate that from the old PC using the iTunes Media/Music/Library folders?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

    iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Ignore any references in the tip to iOS devices, the Classic does not use iOS. The tip has a list of software, including the TouchCopy referred to by tbirdvet that may assist you in recovering your music.

  • Why has itunes moved my music files out of the Music folder?

    To my horror I just found out that itunes has moved folders (albums) out of the Music folder, Ive always found those folders very well organized (music, movies, podcasts, etc) now Im seeing some albums mixed with those folders (out of the music folder) and some albums IN the music folder as well, even worse I have the same folder inside Music and out!! with a few tracks on each, but in iTunes everything looks normal and it plays the album as usual, Im losing my mind over this I cant find a way to fix it, I even started moving them manually but there are too many, and for the duplicate folders I have to move the tracks that were moved. Any idea on why did this happen? I dont want to move the folders and lose hours only to find out that itunes did it again!! I thank you very very ver much in advance.

    iTunes on a Mac may be more forgiving if you move things around manually, but it isn't really recommended.
    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you had an older library and have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10/11). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other. (Recent installs of iTunes on a Mac now give the library file the .itl extension)
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
    1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is grayed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organized outside the designated media folder into it.   N.B. This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards.
    3. Select iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    4. Select iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
    5. (Optional, if applicable) Close iTunes, rename the media folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename.
    PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then, edit the hidden file .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.
    You should backup your library before attempting any major reorganization.
    If iTunes is still creating files or folders in the wrong locations there is a possibility of permissions problems. Offhand I'm not sure of the correct OS X terms but on Windows both the system and user accounts should have full access permissions to all files & folders within the iTunes folder in order for it to work properly.

  • Accessing music files on external hard drives with Home Sharing

    I use my iMac as a computer and music server.  I have it connected via USB and SPDIF to my audio system, and access my music files with the Remote app on my iPhone.  It works fine except when the Remote app occasionally wants to take a brief break.  The problem is that I have a LOT of high-res music files, and my IMac's hard drive is filling up and slowing the processor down.  Is there a way to access music files located on external hard drives (I have two) AND the files located on my iMac using Home Sharing and the Remote app on my iPhone.  I'd like to move some of the files off of the iMac's HD to free up space.  Thanks.

    The best thing to do is to get an external drive that is large enough
    and has sufficient room for growth and move your entire iTunes
    folder to it.
    Then start iTunes holding down the option key and when the dialog
    box comes up, select choose library and navigate to the new iTunes
    folder location.
    This way, nothing will be lost, confused, or otherwise messed up since
    the entire library will be intact.

  • Large music file synch problem

    Synching iTunes-iPhone works fine but for one issue - have a couple of (iTunes purchased) Nike training programs consisting of multiple music files and one large one which is the actual 40 minutes training program. Just under 40 Mb small.
    All the music files synchs works as normal, and the progress bar shows the big training files to be copied over but no trace of them on the iPhone. Tried changing folders to synch etc etc to no avail.
    iPhone 8GB, Orange bog standard setup, last OS and all updates etc. Music in question bougth at iTunes Store in France (which is the locality)

    Hehe, thanks anyway!
    Nope it's not a video, just a looong piece of music file (whole 40 minutes training sequence in one go - almost 40 Mb).
    And I've been all over the iPhone - genres, compilations, albums, composers...even in podcats, videos and podcasts. All the other songs on the albums are where they should be, just not these two (two albums - speed and endurance programs).
    Tried single file update and as in all other cases, progress bar shows it going over but no race of it on the iPhone. Tried changing names on the files in case the funny French accents messed up, but nooo...
    Baffling.

  • Uh Oh...I manually consolidated/reorganized a lot of my 38k+ music files and now iTunes is not able to locate them!

    Hi there,
    So, I realize now that what I did was stupid...but it's done and now I need to find a solution.  I have an external drive with over 38,000 music files so I decided I would consolidate all my music into one location.  By doing this, I renamed file locations, renamed artists (corrected spelling, etc.) and when I thought I was done (and so proud of myself), I noticed that iTunes now no longer knew where to find anything.
    I searched these forums and the internet and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem.  Everything I find involves moving the file through iTunes.  Well, since I've already passed that point, I was hoping there's an easy way to help iTunes find my music (rather than album, by album - as, with the size of my library...it would seem like an impossible task).
    The other problem I see is, I have several different iTunes folders in my computer.  This is probably due to upgrading systems (computers...not iTunes), obtaining an External Drive, etc.  I'd like to clean this up somehow but each time I try to...it seems that I make it worse.
    Anyone out there able to help me?
    Thanks!

    The exclamation mark for missing files is shown if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a label change. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use CMD-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive label has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links, which should work if they are in the expected layout.

  • Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia.

    Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia. Can I start using itunes music match while I am travelling without the actual music files attached to my itunes?

    In your situation I strongly recommend you read over that KB article. The international iTunes Stores are not cross-compatible.
    My understanding of how it would work is that when activating iTunes Match on your US Store account, any songs you have in your iTunes Library that were purchased from the AUS Store account will NOT be matched. As I understand it, those files will be uploaded (which means you need the files on a local HDD). I also do not think it is possible to have iTunes Match active on more than one store ID on the same computer. But since iTunes Match is not available internationally yet, that point is moot for the moment.
    To be honest you might want to wait until the service is available internationally so you can guage how will it will serve you.

  • Need help changing location of music files on my compute

    I purchased a separate hard drive to store my itunes music files. I copied the music from the default location on my hard drive to the new hard drive. How do I change the path on the iTunes site to the new hard drive location?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Undo what you've done, and follow these directions to consolidate your library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364?viewlocale=en_US
    Also, you might consider giving your exHD a letter pretty far down in the alphabet, so when you plug in other USB devices, the drive letter won't change in Windows. That can cause itunes to lose the path to your music with the ! file not found message.
