Locating and consolidating the iTunes Music folder

Consolidating will make sure all of your content is in the same location. Look in iTunes Preferences to verify where your iTunes Music folder is located.

1. Open iTunes Preferences:
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Advanced and note the location of your iTunes Music folder.



If you're not going to be able to complete these steps all at once, it's a good idea to make sure that any new content gets added to the iTunes Music folder. If you're not able to finish these steps, select the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" if it's not already selected. This will ensure any content you add before finishing these steps gets added to the iTunes Music folder.



Click OK.
Choose File > LIbrary > Consolidate Library. A window appears reading: "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes music folder. This cannot be undone."

Click Consolidate. Note: Clicking Consolidate will cause iTunes to copy all of your music files to another location on your computer. You will need to manually remove the files from their previous locations if you are concerned about drive space. If your computer does not have enough hard-drive space this process will not work correctly. Please speak to your computer manufacturer or Microsoft for more information on how to obtain more space to perform this action.

Thanks, I already had all of that done. And my music was already somewhere else on the computer. That might explain it.
