Now, I've really gone and done it. I have music folders stored in this location: /Users/(your username)/Music/iTunes I also have a similar looking folder here: Maxtor 160: iTunes Music (this is where I changed my iTunes/Preferences/Advanced folder to be) This is where my downloads are told to go. Anyway, you guys have answered my question. I'll do a backup of both including the indexes David mentioned and go from there. I'll wait awhile to see if there's any more input. Thanks again.
