Why did my music download location change?

All of my music is stored in D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\

When I download new songs now, artist and album folders are being created in D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\ which is my iTunes Media folder location in the settings.

My mobile applications are being stored in D:\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications\

So my question is, why are new music downloads all of a sudden being placed in D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\? Did Apple change the location where they are placed? Should I move all of my existing music in that folder?

Hey COtto1984,

Thanks for the question. iTunes should default to the iTunes Media folder organization, as outlined in this resource:

iTunes: Understanding iTunes Media Organization

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847

In iTunes 9 and later, the iTunes folder is organized as follows, with iTunes Media organization arranging your content into folders related to the content:

- iTunes

- iTunes Media

- Music

If you find that it is not defaulting to this organization, you can check to make sure your iTunes Media folder location is correct in your advanced preferences:

Where are my iTunes files located?

Thanks,
