How do you transfer music from external hard drive to iTunes?

[kooky]

I'm copying the files into the iTunes folder. If I keep the hard drive on, iTunes will play the songs without a problem. As soon as I turn the hard drive off and I try to play one of the songs, I get this warning: The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.































What do I do? I don't want to have to use my external drive anymore - I have a new PC with a TON of memory.































Thanks!!!

move the files from the hard drive to your my music, that should fix it.

Just plug in your external HD and copy all content to you PC's HD. But I advise you create a separate partition and have all you file( documents, songs, pics...) other than the operating system files inside it

Go to your preferences and change the option that say copy music to i tunes folder and as long as your folder is not on the hard drive it will copy and save whatever music u play to the folder u have listed for your i tunes music
