[iTunes] Where is iTunes stored?

[Jane Lee]

like i said in the other thread about this, there's a Consolidate
Music option in the Advanced menu up in the menu bar.
Moves all your music in the Library to the location in the
preferences, and changes the iTunes library database to reflect that
change.

cheers
