Re: iTunes 4

[Jason Lindsay]

To fix the copying music problem, go to Preferences, Advanced, and 
uncheck the box that says "copy to iTunes Music Folder when adding to 
library" (not verbatim).  iTunes likes to organize your music for you, 
so when you doubleclick an MP3, it copies it to the music folder 
(Usually located in your user folder), so you can delete the original.  
Alternatively, if you have a pre-defined place for music, and you don't 
want it to be somewhere else, change the location of your music folder 
(also in Preferences -> Advanced) to point at your current music folder.

iTunes has been as stable as anything else I have used, once I figured 
out these little tricks.

Before iTunes 4, I used to be able to add cd's that I own to my

 It just crashed on me 8 times in a row and I tried multiple different

ways......

Fix or suggestions?
I do think that iTunes it is very annoying, I did posted a question 
like that
but didn't get a reply.  Here's what I posted:

"Every time I open iTunes to play an MP3 or sound file it seems like is
making an extra copy.   I converted all of my CDs to MP3s to preserve 
them longer a
while ago, does that mean that iTunes will save them somewhere else and
occupy another 4GB unnecesarily?   The OS X disk only has 4GB free.  
The MP3s
exceed that."

Why can't iTunes make 1K or 2K playlists instead, I am tempted to dump 
it and
use something else.  Is there a way to do such thing?  Oh BTW a simple 
sound
file opens iTunes as well, when with classic OS it would just play on 
the
desktop (I used to add some music sounds to the startup folder).
