Is there a way to have itunes search your computer and have it import all the music into itself..I have music stashed in files all over my comp from years of downloads abd so forth...or do you have to move every song individually?
Got a tip for us?

Yikes.The universe implodes!
But, just to be safe. Leave the universe and try it.
I wouldn't do that...
Try this instead.
Open any Finder window. Type any letter into the Spotlight search box in the Finder window (not the one in the top right hand conner of your screen)
And add the "Kind", "Music" rule. Now Spotlight should list every audio file on you hard drive.

option n will only work if finder is already selected. it looks like a blue smily face in the dock. or you can double click on "Macintosh HD".
Finder is the file browser, a bit like Explorer for windows except it doesnt crash all the time, and if it does, you dont have to restart the whole computer
Click anywhere on the desktop, hold the command key (the one with an apple on it), hold the option key (which probably says option), and press the letter N.
Oh, I'm going to fall in love with this thread.
If you're using Windows, I'm not sure if anyone here knows how to find all the files on a Windows hard drive that are music files. Most of us don't have Windows computers, at least at home. Try using the search function of Explorer.
Also use complete sentences... communicate like someone older than six....

You should.... Unless you're using a non-apple keyboard. Or you're not using a Mac.
Err not necessarily , remember the Apple Key/Command Key now has that whizzy symbol thingee that looks like a bit like a celtic knot

Ok ,I guess thats the problem.I am not using a mac.I am using windows.Thanks for all the help ,I guess I will just have to figure this out on my own.

I haven't seen one without. My MacBook Pro has one. So does my iMac G5. So did my old Macintosh Centris.Err not necessarily , remember the Apple Key/Command Key now has that whizzy symbol thingee that looks like a bit like a celtic knot
In windows: click start > Search > for files and folders
Select "all files and folders"
Type *.mp3 in the box and hit enter (this is assuming your music files are mp3s)
Select all the mp3s (ctrl-a) and drag them into itunes (drop them on the part marked library)
