Keep itunes music folder organized problem?

If you want it unorganized as you had it, you'll have to drag everything around back around, then re-add it to iTunes.
You don't like thing organized by Artist -> Album -> Songs?

Forget about where the files are stored it doesn't really matter since iTunes keeps track of that. Use the features of iTunes and playlists to keep track of things.

The only time I go to the folders is when I copy everything to external hard drive for backing up.

No offense to you, but maybe you shoudl go back to casette tapes if you can't cope with itunes organization

If you organize properly,you will have the correct ID3 tags on everything.
iTunes will put all your music very neatly into Artist folder -> Album folder > Song file.

In iTunes, right click on the song file and put in the correct info.

Don't worry about the folders.
Just fix the ID3 tags in iTunes and the folder will fix themselves.

I have to agree with some of the previous posters. Apple's "our way or the highway" no options organization scheme puts my compilation CDs with various artists into as many different folders as there are artists on the CD. Yeah, that makes it REAL easy to drag and drop that album to a buddies hard drive... "uh hold on let me make up a playlist, and then I can burn that playlist to a CD or DVD and, wait this'll just take a sec, and then make sure that you only use iTunes or else you won't know what CD all those folders belong to and, hey where ya going? this'll just take a sec". A superior way is to properly tag the files with the individual artist names but keep compilation albums in ONE folder per CD. My PhatNoise ripper (not-free and worth it)does this and it results in a much neater "My Music" folder that is easier to use for non-iTunes purposes.

Just because you do not know how to do something, does not mean it can't be done.

Hmm? All my compilation albums are in one folder each.
Do you have it set as a Compilation album?

Yeah, that makes it REAL easy to drag and drop that album to a buddies hard drive
Oh, okay. So you simply want to make it easy to do illegal file sharing? And since Apple makes it easy to group a compilation CD in one folder and you can't figure it out, it's sonehow Apple's "fault"?

So you do want it to do it the way it does now?

Now, I'm kinda confused. What's the point of your post?
