Itunes help with adding music?

Question

I have a separate folder for my music only. I get my music in many ways through discs,limewire, and torrents. Every time i want to add a new song or a group of songs to I-tunes i have to search the entire folder to add one song. I tried making the folder so it is organized by "Modified" so the newer ones are at the bottom but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

P.S.- I like keeping it all in one folder and not seperating it into sub folders

Answer 1

If you want ALL your music into your iTunes library simply

File> Add FOLDER to library > Pick your folder, such as 'My Music' and presto, everything is in that folder will be in iTunes.

BUT, if you have certain files that you want to add, and you don't want to go through the hassle of adding them one by one.

Simply open the folder containing the songs, open iTunes, and do the classic 'drag and drop'. (to drag multiple items, click once on one file, and then hold down 'ctrl' then click on another file, and all the file's inbetween the two will be selected, then it's just a matter of picking what you want!

Hope this helped!
Good Luck.

Have your downloaded music go to one folder.

In iTunes, import the songs (not the folder).

Let iTunes move the songs into your standard music folder.
