[QUOTE="terrapin, post: 720209, member: 28366"] Hi guys, I wasn't sure whether to put this in the music forum or this one or another one completely. I have all of my music on an external drive, and unfortunately I've let that become very disorganized. All of my music is imported/tagged in iTunes, and I'm trying to select [i]all[/i] of my music (about 78 gigs or so) in iTunes and drag it from there into a completely new folder on my external drive. However, each time I do this, the little red bubble that says "+11484" or whatever eventually floats back to iTunes, Finder freezes for 5 minutes or so, and then nothing happens at all. I have no trouble moving one song or even a hundred songs at a time, but that would still take much more time than I'd like. How can I fix this problem? Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
