consolidate itunes library

[shaunmorelli]

When you consolidate your itunes library does it actually move all your files to one folder or does it just make a copy or reference them? Because my itunes media is scattered throughout my computer and an external hard drive and i'd like to move it all to one spot.

Thanks

iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder

12. In the Organize Library (or Consolidate Library) window, select Consolidate files.
13. Click OK. Important: This action copies all of your music and media files to the new location. There must be enough hard disk space available to copy all of your music and media files.
