Hi Anna, Good thought about moving this to the iTunes Music folder before adding it. I forgot that Donna may have her preferences set so that "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to Library" is unchecked on the Advanced pane of the iTunes preferences menu. Of course, iTunes will expect the tracks to be in the iTunes library location.
