I wanted to change the Itunes Media Folder Location to another drive on my Windows 11 computer. Edit/Preferences/Advanced allows me to browse for the folder location and change it but it doesn't stay changed. When I exit Itunes and relaunch Itunes it reverts back to the old location. Has anyone seen this happen?
Windows, Windows 10
There is a bug in recent builds of iTunes that, at least for some users, seems to stop the media folder preference from being saved properly. See Make a split library portable - Apple Community and put your library in a shape that isn't affected by the issue, and is easier to backup and move around in future.
TL;DR: move your existing library to the drive you want to use and shift-start-iTunes to open it there instead of trying to change the media folder.

Thanks for the tips!! I'll pass on the split library. I updated Itunes to the latest version and then started Itunes while holding down the shift key. That did the trick and also updated the preferences.
You're welcome. 🙂
