Hello, iTunes will not do anything to your music. It is all configurable with the options in preferences.
1. No, it will not be converted. 2. It is an option to copy it to the iTunes library and organize it under there, but even if it does so, it does not touch your original copy. 3. It doesn't care about folders nor will it touch any file or directory you create. If it copies it to its own library, then it is in charge of organizing that folder obviously. 4. You can delete songs from iTunes without deleting the file itself. 5. The grid view will allow you to browse by album, artist, genre, etc. Regards, Brandon Olivares Azavia Technologies New: ZCaptcha — The Captcha Reader On Oct 4, 2012, at 3:54 PM, Alex Hall <mehg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > I'd like to be able to add all my music to iTunes (and there's a whole lot of > it), but I have some concerns. > 1.
