What is copy files to iTunes music folder when adding music to library?

If you copy files to iTunes Library, you will have 2 copies of the file on your computer. iTunes can play files that are not in the iTunes Library. It makes a link to them, like an alias. For example, if you download a song, it might be in your downloads folder. If you let iTunes copy it to the iTunes Library, it will be in your downloads folder and your iTunes Library. If you delete the song from the downloads folder, it will still be in your iTunes Library, and iTunes can still play it. If you don't copy it to your iTunes Library, and delete it from the downloads folder, iTunes will not be able to play it. You should set up iTunes so that it takes care of the files the way you wish. Don't try to arrange the files yourself by dragging them or copying them yourself into the iTunes Library folder. If you do that you might not see them in iTunes because the iTunes database has not been updated by iTunes. This is also true if you move files between the iTunes album or artist folders. Let iTunes do it and it will maintain the database and you can play all your music.

How do I fix this iTunes library issue it says it cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes?

How to Successfully Use An Older Version of iTunesAfter Installing iTunes 7 (or the latest version) go into My Documents/My Music.Now go into the iTunes folder.Rename your iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library.itl.old.Go into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (which would be in MyDocuments\MyMusic\Previous iTunes Libraries).Take the newest file (for me this was iTunes Library 2006-09-14.itl) and copy it back up to the iTunes folder.Rename it iTunes Library.itl.Run iTunes 6 and you should be all set, with your library restoredAnother user said:I recently downgraded WinXP to Win2K and received this error after installing iTunes for Win2K. This was the first article I read when I investigated my options. The second step was confusing to me because the "previous library" file did not exist. I simply renamed the old (newer) library with the "itl.old" file extension and that worked.Also, after you rename the iTunes icons it may not work. To fix that click on 'use web service to find appropriate program' and do the following steps (it does work).
