| 343169 | 2005-04-09 10:23:00 | I have MP3 and WAV files all over the place. Its a mess. But I have managed to at least get them all listed in Windows Media Player. So how can I now copy all the music to either My Shared folder or My Music? All at once preferably. Cut and paste doesn't seem to work but then I barely know what I'm doing. |

Anyhow,Does itunes actually move files to a location (which he wants to do) or merely catolouge it? Why not store them in ITunes. When it was introduced for Windows in Oct 2003 there were over 1 million downloads in less than 4 days so there is obviously something there that is attractive to WMP and MusicMatch users. iTunes can import music from Windows Media Player, MusicMatch and any other app that uses MP3, AAC or WMA (unprotected). iTunes 4.5 will now convert files digitized by Windows Media Player in unprotected format to AAC, so you can use them in iTunes or on iPod. When you import your MusicMatch library or other MP3 collection, you can choose to let iTunes make a copy of the library, or point to the old files. If you want to gather up all your music later, iTunes lets you consolidate your library anytime |

| 343174 | 2005-04-09 11:24:00 | Thanks Metla and Safari. I don't know that iTunes is needed but Metla's suggestion appears to now work. Maybe the computer was busy transferring about 700 files and I thought it had given up. Anyway, My Music suddenly has a Playlist file in it with all music. The next trick is to see if I can find that file using Roxio to burn a CD. Essentially my problem is that I have not been able to find the music source for Roxio Easy (yeah, Right) CD Creator. Can't drag and drop from Media Player. |

Start>search,enter *.mp3 or *.wav into the search box,it will find every such file on your Harddrive,you can then take note of their location,or copy them directly from the results listing into the folder of your choice. |
