I’m cleaning my computer’s desktop. At 1:58 in the morning. It’s how I roll.
I have a sample music cd that I downloaded to my desktop and I wanted to get it into iTunes. It’s not as intuitive as you’d think, but then I remembered this trick, and wanted to share it here.
It’s something you’ll forget, but when you are learn it you’ll realize how awesome Apple really is.
Navigate to your iTunes folder. I’m on a PC (until we need our next computer… 🙂 at Robert) and for me that means opening Windows Explorer. Then go to My Music, iTunes, iTunes Media. (I also have an iTunes Music folder, but that’s because we’ve had iTunes since the beginning, and we’re old. You may not have that folder, if you don’t, you’re young, and hip, and I’m jealous.)
Here’s a picture, for your viewing pleasure:
The first folder in the iTunes Media folder is called “Automatically Add to iTunes”, and it does exactly what it says it does.
Drag and drop, or copy and paste, the music files you want added to iTunes into this folder, and they’ll be added automatically.
If you have any questions, just ask me. I’d love to help if I can.
It’s awesome. I love it. And my desktop is clean. Ish.
