[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1797991, member: 131855"] @Macintaj Launch iTunes and open Preferences. Check the Advanced tab and see where iTunnes is set to store the files. If you want the library stored on the external drive make sure that is where iTunes is set to look for the music. There is also a checkbox that says something like "copy files to the media folder when adding to the library. If that box is checked iTunens is goinng to leave a copy of any new files to their original locations and a copy in the media folder. If iTunes has the media folder designated where you want it and everything appears to9 be there it is safe to delete the extra copy. I'm not dead certain but I think that copy setting is causing the duplication, BTW when you add new files how are you usually adding them? [/QUOTE]
