Hey thanks everyone! The importation thing worked fine! It's funny, I thought I'd tried that before back when I first got my Mac and it didn't work right then. But it did now, so thanks hugely! Is there a way, though, to get it to import stuff straight to the folder I want it in, like, an audio-book straight into the books folder? Because when I imported my Revenge of the Sith, it put it in the music folder and I had to do the "get info" thing to move it to "books". Which did work BTW!
And Ricardo, you're right that I'm going to have to copy and paste my descriptive movies into the right folder. I tried re-categorizing them under "get info" and it didn't work. But, um, dumb question. So I copy them from my music folder (can I cut or is it best to copy?). But once I've selected "movies" from the sources table, where to I paste what I've copied/cut from my "music" folder? There's the "Movies Introduction" sroll-area, but nothing like the "music" table in my "music" folder (the one where all the songs are listed) to paste stuff in at least that I can find. And anyway, when I've tried pasting stuff in the "songs table before it hasn't worked. Anyway, thanks for all the help! You guys rock!
