Sorry - I am sure I will get spammed for this, but I like google music and Im not ready to give it up. I have an android phone and I think it works really well.
Now that said I do want to back up hard copies of my music. I am sure I can use google music manager to download to the music folder. and if I tell itunes not to look in the music folder it wont.
So in short what I am doing is just keeping the files on my mac, not listening to them. But if in the future I warm up to itunes will it duplicate the files? Taking up twice as much space?
One of the reasons I have never been overly fond of itunes is because of the massive amounts of backend clutter it creates in the file system.
SO if anyone has som education on this subject I would be inclined to listen. Thanks.
Edit - Also a complete newcomer to Mac. Haven't used one of these since before windows existed. Absolutely loving it.
