Itunes
I know this question has probably bene asked a billion times but the answer all seem vague, First off the option in preferences to copy your music to your Itunes media folder. I don't understand the benefit of this VS just making the Media folder the same folder as your music. Would the only reason be is that you want your own music separate from Itunes if you choose to let Itunes/Music organize your music?
Also when exporting your library why consolidate ? It pull all your files that are not inside your folder but if you have the option to copy anything into the media folder wouldn't this be redundant ? Is there any speed benefit to having an Music folder that is organized by Music ?
