iTunes/Music and iTunes/Media/Music! How to consolidate?
I am a passive user of iTunes, only using it to store my albums on my PC. At some point before 2012 the default folder for my music switched from
Music/iTunes/iTunes Music to Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/iTunes Music
and article
itunes media vs itunes music - Apple Community
explains how to do this but the instructions are not clear at all to me!
The following ought to fix things:
- Change media folder location back to iTunes Music
- Close and reopen iTunes, check media plays
- Use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files
- Delete the current iTunes Media folder
- Close iTunes
- Rename iTunes Music as iTunes Media
- Start iTunes
- Check the media folder location now reads iTunes Media and that files play
- Use File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media" unless grayed out
What does it mean to change media folder location back to iTunes Music? etc. these instructions are not explicit enough.
Help?
