While I don't mind iTunes keeping my stuff organized, I thought turning off "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" would address the issue for those who like to do it themselves. Checkboxes can be found in the Advanced section of Preferences.

That is what I fricken hate about ITunes. Its library thinks it knows better than you where to put thinkgs and it puts them where it feels like it and you cannot control it. I love the .m4a format for files, and, as a player, ITunes is actually easy: but, the library sucks. ITunes is very library dependent. When you synch your Iphone using it, you cannot manually select what songs go on yoru phone and which don't. Until Apple makes ITunes a library independent player, I will never use it. Sure, you can check and uncheck individual songs: But, that doesn't always stick and I hate that ITunes seems to rely on a library which puts stuff where you cannot find it and thinks it knows better than you where stuff should go.

I've been having this weird issue that started I'm not sure when, with Itunes stripping my files out of their original folders on my harddrive when I load them, then either putting them into a separate folder of their own somewhere else on the drive, or, if the album is by various artists, it breaks it all up according to artist name, and puts them all in a ton of folders all over my drive, so that I have a ton of folders with only 1 or 2 songs in it that I have to attempt to put back in order, if I even have the energy to do that anymore depending on how big the complation is. Does anyone know how to fix all this, or if it's even fixable? I have no idea how this happened, and it's driving me nuts, especially considering the fact that at times I've had to rerip several albums for Hannah to listen to, sense they don't ever stay where I put them, and I eventually delete them out of my library, sense I don't want to listen to Sesame STreet on a daily basis, and don't want to constantly leave it in my library and clutter it up. So at this point, any help someone could give me would really be appreciated.
