[Cube] Cube Emergency: SOLVED

[George Pepper]

 Nevermind.  I found the correct folder.  I'm a knothead.

Jeez.  I practice guitar 7 hours in prep for a concert next Wednesday, kick back by the Cube with a beer - totally exhausted - and THIS!  I just wanted to watch my Spiderman DVD! LOL!

BTW: Eighteen minutes to copy 10GB of MP3's via FireWire.  That's not as bad as I expected.

So.  What's the "hot ticket" HD replacement I'm going to want for the Cube?

*burp*

I was trying to copy the Music folder, which has the link to iTunes in it.  WHERE IS THE ITUNES FOLDER?!!!  I can't find it anywhere I look. This is starting to chap my butt.
