Question about Itunes

I have a PC with its own hard drive and an external. The external harddrive is where I launch Itunes from.

I will convert a new CD I bought and then save the converted songs to my external harddrive. Even though I have noved the songs to my external, they are archived on my PC drive.

My question is this. IF I go in and delete the archive on my PC drive, will it affect the files on my external? I am terrified of deleting them and having to do everything all over again! shake

You have set the external drive as your itunes folder in itunes preferences, haven't you?

Then you consolidate library and can delete the files that remain on the PC.
Only the library, huh? Don't delete any other related file

Anyway, if you select a song in itunes and right click it, it will confirm you the path. If it's in the external drive, no problem.
If it says C:/ Whatever then you have done something wrong

Truth be told, I'm still confused as hell about the ipod/itunes lol I have NEVER been able to get it to synch up to my external. Everytime I hook up the ipod to another computer it tries to reach out to the drive on that computer and I haven't figured out how to direct it to the external so I set it on manual. Because of that it won't synch and I have had to create one playlist for every album/mix/podcast I have neutral neutral neutral

Still it's a million times better than carrying about 2 billion CDs lol

I have a Mac and my sweetie has a PC. I can't figure out the operation of iTunes on his PC to save my soul. It makes no damn sense whatsoever. disbelief

Yeah, I heard it's like explanatory on the Mac. I've never hooked it up to one but I'm sure I'm being crippled for that reason lol

The fact that it's a PC is always the problem. nod
