As for the Command Key, that's the one with the clover-looking icon on it. If you're on a Mac but using a standard keyboard, then the option key would be the Alt key and the Command key would be the "Windows" key. If you're on a Windows machine, then to delete the file from any playlist AND have it deleted from the hard drive -- hold down Shift and Press the Delete key. (As of version 9.0.1 of iTunes.)

Instead they should have intuitive menus. This option should be right below the Delete option in the RIGHT click menu. You should have Delete from Playlist or Delete from iTunes.

But command+delete doesn’t work in playlists. Apparently, option+delete works in both.

I tunes is synched to this drive as I don't wish to store my music on my laptop. I have been sorting through all my music files, and found that some folders on itunes don't marry up with my F Drive. With F Drive organised, I thought I would disconnect it, and the proceed to delete all the files on Itunes. Only thing, when I attempt to copy over files from my F Drive back into Itunes, so that I have more flexibility at viewing and sorting my music, it saves the music on my pc hard drive which I dont want to happen. Questions: How can I just copy over the Music Info titles and leave the music on my external F Drive? I have a back up copy of my music on another external drive, so I don't need a backup copy on my pc as well ~ takes up too much space. Currently I tunes is empty and everything is on my F Drive which is an external drive - Reason for this? I got rid of duplicates on my external hard drive as I feel its best to fix things at the "source" Also a "expert" friend told me to change my download to High Quality MP3 instead of AAC format, will this take up more space on my hard drive? appreciate your help tks Hi,
