how do i use itunes when none of my music is in itunes? its saved to an external hd? i have to import it into itunes then stuff about in there? how do i get it back out of itunes? theres go to be an easier way than that.
why cant it be done through kies?
(a few weeks late, but might still be helpful)
i'd recommend the program linked above then, it's easy, fast, and simple (tips on using it if wanted)
i haven't used kies to know what it can and can't do
for itunes, importing (file menu -> add file/folder) would be one way, that just allows it to play the files within itunes, and edit their info, nothing happens to the files them self by doing that, they aren't stored within itunes or anything like that, the files would still be in the same spot and everything
to edit a song you'd right click the name choose "get info" and a window will pop-up, and within that you can change what you need to, when do click ok, and the file should be updated with the new info you entered
to update a whole album at once import using "add folder" and choose the folder the album is in, then right click the album name above all the songs, a message asking if you want to "edit multiple items" will appear, click 'yes', in this new window, click the check box to the left of everything you want updated on all the songs (like 'album artist' for example) fill out the info, then click ok, now all the files for that album should be updated
in either way the files don't move at all, only get updated with new info/tags
