Hi Don,

If you are sure that you have all the music in your OSX folder, just go
ahead and delete the OS9-folder. If you want to be absolutely sure, you
could dropstuff it first and see if all your tunes play well in OSX

If I were you, I would move everything to your OSX documents folder. That
way you have only one place to backup, and it is in your "home". There is a
neato trick to click on your desktop and press cmd-arrow-up to get you to
your home folder in the Finder.  Another way to get to your home fast is to
set your finder settings always to open in your home folder. That way you
have access to your files only and not to any system files you don't need to
look at. 

Cheers,
