Hi Rose,
As I mentioned, Sherry's directions missed one step. The Automatically
Add
to iTunes Folder is not in the main iTunes folder, but in the "iTunes
Media"
folder which is a folder inside your iTunes folder.
It seems as if you have a bunch of music in the main Windows Music folder
itself. I prefer to have all my music organized by artist and album, e.g.
I
have folders for Dire Straits, Gordon Lightfoot, Supertramp, The Beatles
just to name some examples. In, for example, the Dire Straits folder I
have
subfolders for the various albums like Love Over Gold, Brothers in Arms
and
so on.
In addition to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, the iTunes Media
folder also contains folders for the various media types you can have
like
Audio Books, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Ringtones etc.
All my folders for the various groups and artists I have are in the Music
folder that is inside the iTunes Media folder so that if I go to the
Start
Menu, then arrow right and down to Music, the only folder I have in the
Music folder Windows creates is iTunes.
It sounds to me like your folders could use a good cleaning up, but I
also
know that if things work that this can be a daunting task.
If you want a shortcut for your desktop to point to your iTunes Media
folder, I could make one for you and email it to you privately as an
attachment. The only thing I would need to know is what your Windows user
name is, here is an example what the path is on my computer:
C:\users\sieghard\music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Regards,
Sieghard

OK, I found the folder for iTunes but there is no automatically add
folder
there and the context menu does say to add a shortcut but when I tried
that
it added another iTunes icon.
This computer seems to love to hide things, and I know I got the Windows
7
before I installed iTunes for the first time in august of 2010, for weeks
before that I had been putting some of my mother's best CE's on my
computer
after she passed on and I know it took hours to import from Media Player
to
iTunes.

Hi Rose and Sherry,
Rose, Sherry's description is almost correct except that all the folders
where your media is stored like Audio Books, Music, Ringtones, Movies (if
you have any) etc. are in a folder called iTunes Media. iTunes Media is
in
the iTunes folder and the iTunes folder is in your Music folder. As
Sherry
pointed out, after you press the Start menu in Windows 7 arrow right
once,
then arrow down and you should find your Documents folder, Music Folder,
Pictures folder etc. I think by default they all show up, you can hide
them
in that list, but unless you specifically do so they should be there.
If you use the default settings when you installed iTunes, the iTunes
folder
also will always be in the Music folder.
There really is no difference between the folder and file structure in
Windows 7 and Windows XP except that in Windows 7 usually the music
folder
is called "Music" and in Windows XP it was "My Music". Same goes for
Documents/My Documents and Pictures/My Pictures.
Remember, all these folders are stored in c:\users\Rose (assuming your
Windows user name is Rose.
If you simply press the Start Key and type c: and then press enter, you
can
then type "u" for users", "r" for Rose" and this is another way to get to
your personal folders. Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pictures
etc.
all of these folders will be there.
Regards,
Sieghard

Rose,
You don't need to type in any path names to find the folder.
Press windows key to open Start menu.
Right arrow once to Shut Down and then down arrow to Music.
Press i to get to the iTunes folder
The folder is in there and is called "Automatically add to iTunes"
If you bring up the context menu with Applications key or Shift F10 while
you are on this folder you can choose Send to desktop.
That puts a shortcut to the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder on your
desktop where it is easy to find.

I e-mail to the PC, then open and they move themselves to iTunes, I don't
have to do directory searches, something that was easy in Windows XP but
seems to be more difficult in 7, that is the directory structure seems a
lot
different to me and I have more problems going where I want, in fact I
have
never seen the folder you all talk about for adding stuff to iTunes.
Admittedly I have not looked particularly hard and I truly hate long path
names with a lot of slashes to get anywhere, it means more stuff can be
done
but just like long URLs they are a pain.

Hi there. I am glad you find the app useful. It is true that it is not
very
professional, but if you're looking for fun ring tones then this is the
best
one that I have found. When you mentioned emailing the ringtones to
yourself, are you meaning on the regular PC or everything from the
iPhone?
It is my understanding in order for ringtones to be added successfully,
they
need to be done via iTunes on the computer. Although, there is a way to
do
it from the iPhone since you can purchase ring tones from the iTunes app
in
the iPhone itself. I have never done this since I have never purchased
music
or tones from iTunes. So I admit that I do not have much experience with
this. I always make my own ring tones or get them from an app like the
one I
suggested.

Thanks for this heads up. I downloaded the app and was amazed at the
number of ring tones available. The directions were very complete and
easy
to understand. I also liked the fact that is was super easy to just
email
the ringtones to myself and put them into iTunes just by playing the ring
tone attachment.

The following is a good source for cool ring tones. Once you download
them
using the app they show up in the file sharing section of iTunes when
your
phone is connected. You get 10 free downloads and adds. If you upgrade to
no
ads then you also get unlimited downloads. The cost for that is $1.99.
Have
fun.
