iPod question

[Troy]

Me>If you delete from the iTunes library, the songs are deleted from your computer. Not exactly...actually, no. If you delete from the iTunes library they're still on your HD.

That's just not true. If you delete from the library you get a message saying "You sure you wanna delete that, you can't undo it, you know" and the file disappears from your HD. But if you delete from any other directory in iTunes it just disappears. This is how it works on a Mac, maybe on a PC it's different, but I don't think so . . .

Guess I mis-understood then. I thought you'd have the option to delete the song from your HD (message box pops up asking if you want to delete from your HD too) when you choose to delete the song from within the iTunes program.

But that's what I've been saying all along! Note that it only deletes from the HD when deleting from the Library.

3LB>I use WMP and rip songs to a file, and then I import those songs to Itunes.

3LB>Yes, which is why I don't use Ipod/Itunes anymore.

MGH>There is a contradiction here.

Yeah, if the end result is to use iTunes, why not use it to rip?

To everyone: It's important to understant that you NEVER need to go to the root file storage area to delete music from your HD. It can all be done from the iTunes pane.
