stevelup Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hi I'm doing quite well - everything is working fine for me, no crashes or any other nasties. I've got one niggly little problem which is driving me crackers though... If I browse my XP partition from Mac OS, the "My Music" folder which is inside "My Documents" is not there. You cannot view it on the command line, nor can you view it in Finder. If I boot a Knoppix CD, the folder is indeed there and it is of course there inside Windows. I know "My Music" is some kind of special Windows folder but this is a bit odd. The reason I would like to access the My Music folder is so that I can use the same iTunes library on both 'machines'. On the Windows machine, you can move the music, but it leaves the library files in My Music at all times. Sorry to invade with a triviality but does anyone have any ideas?

cyrana Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 That is odd. On my machine I can get to the XP partition fine and see the music in the My Music Folder... XP SP2 and NTFS for that partition as well. So, I know this is not helpful, but it works fine in my situation... I go in via \Documents and Setting\My User\My Documents\My Music.

I guess you can just try moving the files?

cyrana Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I thought iTunes used that lame My Music folder to put its stuff in subfolders (by default). Only reason I do it this way. hehe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1532-silly-little-problem-with-xp-my-music-folder/#findComment-9981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelup Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Thanks folks. I've worked around it by moving the music to another folder and creating a log-off script which makes a copy of the iTunes library files when I log off XP. It's very odd though...
