Purpose of both a "Music" and "My Music" folder?

I'm new to Mac and still finding my way around. I have a new MacBook with the latest verios of Mac OS. I don;t get why there is a Music folder, which holds the iTunes and GrageBand folders, and thus all of your music. And, in addition there is a "My Music" folder in the Documents folder.

What is the point of of the My Music, Videos, Pictures folders in the My Documents folder? They seem pointless. Can they be deleted? (I know in windows there were some folders that couldn;t be deleted).

Is there a My Music folder in the Documents folder? This wasn't there on my Mac. Maybe its some other software that has created this folder...

You can delete the one in Documents....

I have not seen a "My Music" folder in any version of OS X. My guess would be that an application of some type created it.

Yh this happend to me as well, when I installed MS Office 2003 for mac under crossover. I got a my music, video and pictures folder in the documents folder. I deleted mine and crossover and office 2003 worked fine

i'm thinking, (if he didn't install MS Office). maybe if you transered your files from a windows machine, it would have placed them in the documents folder.
