Hi guys.
This is weird. After drag and dropping my music folder into iTunes it screws up my nicely arranged folders.
It copies some folders somewhere else in the iTunes folder.
For example if the folders were:

../Music/Haste the Day/Burning Bridges
it now is:
../Music/Burning Bridges

why???

That is really frustrating, I don't want a freaking program to mess with my folders.
How can I avoid that?

That should solve it. You also might want to uncheck "Copy To files to iTunes Music Folder when Adding to Library" as that bothers some users also as it copies the file into the iTunes folder instead of just using it where it resides. Otherwise you will have 2 copies of the same song on your hard drive.
