    Hi Guys.

    I have a folder (my itunes music folder) which has thousands of subfolders. I want to be able to extract all the music so it is in one place. Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    not quite sure what you are asking?I have a music folder which I use as a share folder for other D/L sites.If you have made a lot of folders try opening the main one then a sub drag and drop into main folder.Then delete the sub folder continue until you have all in one folder hope that helps.If from D/L sites make sure you select the main folder when D/L as destination folder

    what i mean is this

    .itunes-----artist(folder)-------album(folder)------01song.mp302song.mp3
    .................artist(folder)-------album(folder)------01song.mp302song.mp3
    .................artist(folder)-------album(folder)------01song.mp302song.mp3
    .................artist(folder)-------album(folder)------01song.mp302song.mp3

    i just wondered if it was possible to scan through the main(itunes) folder, for all the mp3 files(like in search) but actually extract them into another folder. Anyone?

    Thanks for the input

    I don't have much experience with the iPod but what you could do is this:
    Click Start > Search > For Files Or Folders > Pictures, Music, or Video > Use Advanced Search Options > Tick the box which says Music > Where it says "Look In" Go to the bottom option which should be browse and then locate your iTunes music folder > Click on More Advanced Options > Tick Search Subfolders > Then Start the Search > Once the search has finished highlight all your music files and then click "Edit" then "Move To Folder" and choose which folder you want them moved to.

    I hope this helps.
