Ah. I'd *never* do it that way -- subfolders like that just don't have anything to do with the way I would ever choose to organize my music. > By default, converted files will have the same album name and artist > name as the source files, so they will be stored in the source > folder, which may not be what you want.

Well, the problem here is that for iTunes to work, I'm stuck with their straitjacket approach to storing the source files. Of course, with all the batch converters I have, I can have only one destination at a time, so I have to move files, anyway. > I'm not sure what happens if you leave this item unchecked -- I > believe in that case, iTunes simply saves the converted files to the > same directory as the originals, and you would have to move them by > hand. Well, if that's what it did it would be exactly what I wanted 9 times out of 10! I have never quite understood why that shouldn't be the default for any batch converter, but obviously, I'm in the minority on this -- I don't use these programs for anything like the same purpose as the vast majority of people. -- David W.
