    Hi Clyde,

    Thanks for the help, but that's what I did.  Yet it copied songs and albums that were NOT in my iTunes folder (they were in the Libraries>Music>MyMusic folder).  And it did NOT copy some of the songs and albums in my iTunes folder.  It had an exclamation point that said they could not be located.  Yet they are in my iTunes folder.
