Moving your iTunes Music folder from default C: drive to a different location.

Is your C drive full after loading all your music/movies into iTunes?
Do you want to move it to an external hard-drive or to a new location on a different drive(say D:)? Here is a way to move the iTunes music folder from MyDocuments > MyMusic > iTunes to a new location while retaining all your play-lists, ratings, and play history.

Make sure that the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option is checked in iTunes Preferences:

1. Open iTunes application by double clicking into the icon.
2. From the Edit menu at the top, click on Preferences.
3. Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window.
4. Select the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" check-box.
5. Click OK to save.

6. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences again.
7. Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window.
8. Click the Change button in the iTunes Music folder location pane.
9. In the Change Music Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new Music folder to be created.

10. Click the Make New Folder button in the Change Music Folder Location window.
11. Enter the name of the new iTunes Music folder.
12. Click OK in the Change Music Folder Location window. Click OK in the Advanced window.
13. Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library (iTunes 8 or later) or choose Advanced > Consolidate Library (iTunes 7 or below).
14. A message will pop up, click Consolidate.

15. After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and you can trash it/delete it.
16. Empty the Recycle Bin.

That's it. Now every-time you import songs to your iTunes, they will not get saved to C > MyMusic, but to your new location.

Make iPhone Ringtones from MP3 Songs Using iTunes

Most of you here will be wondering if it is possible to convert any song in iTunes to iPhone ring-tone.  Well your search is over. As such with the help of iTunes you can convert the songs you purchased from iTunes store to the ring-tone very easily. That is all you need to do is right click on that particular song in your iTunes library and then click on CREATE RING-TONE. very simple.

There is also a way to convert any other songs to iPhone ring tone just by following the steps mentioned below.
You may use iTunes to convert any MP3 song into an iPhone ringtone provided the song file is not protected by DRM. This means the technique won’t work with iTunes store music but is perfect for creating ringtones from songs that you purchased from Amazon store or ripped from a CD.

Songs that can be converted to ringtones:

• mp3
• aiff
• non-protected aac

Here is the step to make a ringtone out of the songs in iTunes:

1. Locate the song in iTunes of which you would like to create a ring-tone. Also decide the time frame of the ring-tone in this song. that is, you need to know exactly what is the start time and end time of the ring-tone in the song ( for example : start time = 1:15 and stop time = 1:30, so a 15 second ringtone.)

2. Right click on the song, and click on Get Info.

3. In the pop up window you have a tab called "Options", click on it. Under the Options tab you will find "Start time" and "stop time". you will have to check both the start time and stop time.

4. By default, the start-time will be 00:00 and stop-time will be the end time of your selected song. You will have to put in your chosen start and stop time there. and then click OK.

5. Keep the song highlighted(selected) in iTunes., Then click on Advanced at the top menu, and then choose "Create AAC version".

6. Once the AAC format of the song is ready, drag that song to desktop. and change the file extension from m4a to m4r. If it asks for confirmation, go ahead and accept it.

7. Windows users need to do this additional step, that is, Open  My computer> go to tools from top menu>choose folder options>click on view tab>and make sure the "hide extensions for know file types" is un checked.

8. After this , go ahead and delete the AAC version of song from the library. Just right click and delete it.

9. Next drag the new file from desktop into your iTunes library. and there is your ring-tone ready.

10. It is that simple to create ring-tones of your favorite songs using iTunes 8.0 or later.
