Thanks Jim,

"consolidate" was the phrase I was missing and while I don't want
import
all my music into the iTunes folder, using that term I have now found some
options for doing what I was after.

Thanks again,
Tim.

1. change your library location in preferences -&gt;

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
</div>
I&#39;ve got a new NAS and have moved my music library from
the old location to the new one. The majority of my music
is ripped from my own CDs with only a few tracks bought
through iTunes &amp; Amazon.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve found the instructions on moving the iTunes-managed
music - and I presume this is just the items purchased
from the iTunes store, but what do I do about all of my
other music which was added via the &quot;File...Add Folder to
Library&quot; method.<br>
</div>
In theory I can pick through and delete most of the files
already in iTunes then re-add, but is there a quicker / more
elegant way?<br>
</div>
I have tried googling but either the topic doesn&#39;t exist, or
I&#39;m not using the right search terms.<br>
<br>
</div>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Tim.<br>
