And where are you dragging the song files *from*? They normally reside in your iTunes Library, why would they be anywhere else? > Will my mp4 files (music purchased thru the iT store) still be playable, or will the copy protection kick-in? I believe that your protected AAC files can only reside within your iTunes library. If you delete them without a backup, you will probably lose them. You *do* have your iTunes library backed up don't you? If not, you are crazy/foolish. If you do, you can "recreate" (whatever that means) from your backup. I think you should proceed with caution here. Clearly state what you want to accomplish and perhaps there is a less drastic (and risky) way to accomplish it. If you want more valuable and specific suggestions, you would need to supply some information, like what computer you have, what operating system you are using, what version of iTunes you have, etc. -- Michael Prete _____________ More will be revealed
