[iTunes] Importing Screwed Up Without Warning

[Scott Stamper]

Hey Scott,

Where does the separate setting reside? My iTunes/Preferences/General/ 
Import Settings looks the same as it always has when it was working  
before.....nothing's greyed out, etc.

Internet connectivity, at least at my machine level seems fine.
