Hi, you are right. This shits me no end, because I used to move 10s of gigs of stuff around with no hassels at all under windows, where-as on mac I have to comb my folders and painstakingly copy individuals or small blocks. If I were to take the albums folder from my burn folder and paste it directly overtop of the albums folder in my music folder, the system would throw out the old 70 gb albums folder and replace it with the new 10 gb albums folder. It would not sync them neetly the way windows used to. I asked here when I first noticed this happening. Fortunately it was when I was reloading my music from backup dvd's onto my macbook harddrive, so no data was lost. I never did get a satisfactory answer though.
