[QUOTE="Vanish, post: 1032608, member: 77988"] i had those two options checked from the beginning when i just started out. All of my music are already organized into folders with the artists name and album names and such. will itunes recognize that and still add all the music into the library? one other thing is i dont want to lose all the names because i edited the names really proper and nicely. i dont know if it also changed the actual file name. i think i know what your saying, you want me to direct itunes to a new folder then drag my backup music into itunes itself. i would do that but my songs are all in organized folders so i cant simply select all and drop in itunes. what i want is to simply put those already organized music folders into the itunes media folder and let itunes recognize it. but it wont let me since the message of case sensitive keep popping up. i also wonder why it asks that. it says that there is content or files that contain the same names, but i have no music files on my imac, i hope its not referring the names in the itunes library. i have 8000 songs in the library and roughly 7900 from the backup. and the other 100 is in the old back up. what i want to know is if i delete everything in the library, will itunes load up the names from the songs or recognize it? because since the names are already there it would be music easier for itunes to just find the song and play it as suppose to replacing all the names again which is pretty much adding songs singly which would take awhile. does the option to export library to .txt or .xml mean that it exports all of the itunes names and info?
