Anyway.. I transferred all my music (about 50 GB) to my iMac the other day. I put 'em under Music -> My Music in their respective folders. (Genres, artists, albums etc)
After I added the files to iTunes' library (which took a small eternity) I noticed they had been copied to the iTunes-folder as well. I did wonder why it's copying things if it just reads the IDTags..
My question is are the files physically in the iTunes folder or is it some kinda "smart folder" thus not actually containing anything?
I wouldn't wanna keep dual copies of my music files cos they do take a reasonable amount of disk space.
I also tried adding files to a playlist simply dragging them from the "My Music"-folder. Yes, it works as expected but then when I checked the files location in iTunes it pointed to the "iTunes"-folder.
Boo-hoo-hoo... I want WinAmp :radioacti
