by default on a PC itunes will install its itunes folder to your Music folder under My Documents.  try there first...or run a find or search for the itunes folder.

ok so i have a my music folder on my desktop i should open the zip copy the songs drop into my music. and that will work?

as long as you don't delete the songs out of there after you drag them to itunes, yes.

but i wouldn't keep them there.  i would find the folder dan's talking about and put them there.  keep everything in one spot, dude.  trust me.

ok well accroding to dan all my music that is in itunes is in my  music folder right?

according to dan all your music that is in itunes is in A music folder. not necessarily the one on your desktop.

ah ha, so the trick it to find the right one, why did you suggest not to put it in the my music file on my desktop?

if you have other music in a file elsewhere, and you also have music in the file on your desktop, then it means you've got files in two locations. and you've probably got a file elsewhere on your computer if you ever copy CD's in itunes.

if you ever get a new computer it will be a pain in the ass to copy from multiple locations instead of one folder.

let's simplify this: do whatever you want for the time being, and next time i come over you can give me a beer and i'll set it up for you.
