Does iTunes duplicate tracks I download?
 

Hey,

Have searched but not found this specific question on here... When I download a track, iTunes is very handily importing it, but when I do a Search on OSX, the track shows up twice: once in my download folder, and once over in the iTunes folder. So... I've got duplicate tracks, using twice the hard drive space, right? My hard drive space is at a bit of a premium, so I've been deleting the downloaded version and keeping the iTunes imported version...

So that means I can't share the downloaded stuff, though, doesn't it? Unless I make my iTunes music folder my shared drive...? But I'm a bit worried the powers that be will have me for that...

Cheers for help and advice!

Well, you could share just certain folders within your iTunes library. (I do that.) Some people like having 2 copies so they can backup what they've dwnlded.
