Q: Can not see iTunes songs in Windows Explorer

Welcome,

I've just checked on my SAN and I can see the music files (all .mp3 files) via my Windows XP system, so might be something funny in 7!

Sorry not much help but at least you know it's possible :-)

Regards,

Shawn

iTunes stores the music in a library..

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

Accessing files in libraries especially covered by digital rights is something Apple specialises in making obscure.

I think that is partially correct - the iTunes metadata is in an XML file which is one big lump, but the actual music files are in a directory structure with the actual songs being individual files.

Regards,

Shawn

P.S. This may be better placed in the iTunes forum.....
