Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?

Ok, i just added the folder {my g drive} to my library and they all popped up. Do i have to do this every time?

You should only have to add them to the library once...

Streetdaddy, you should be OK now that you've added your G drive files to the library. Gigi's advice concerning the Consolidate Library command was a little off target. It's possible to have music files that are scattered all over different drives in your music library. The library is a data base that keeps track of where the files are. The Consolidate Library command makes sure a copy of all the tunes in your library is contained in your designated iTunes music folder. When you tried the Consolidate Library command, you hadn't put anything in your library yet, so nothing happened.

The iTunes music folder location determines the default location for all _future_ music files you rip and add to your library. If you change the location setting, it will not affect the location of any files already in your library. Since you've put your G drive files in your library, and (I'm assuming) you've set your iTunes music folder location to that very same G drive music folder, your music collection will continue to be in one place as you add to it.

Jayboard, Thanks again for getting me up and running. I love the new setup. I still am amazed at having that many songs at my fingertips! Now, if i use up all of my new memory on my 300gb hd, and i add a second hd, will this change anything? Will it still all be on the itunes library?

Once you fill up your first hard drive and want to start on a second, all you would have to do is to set the location of the iTunes music folder to the second drive. Then, any new CDs you rip will be saved to the second drive. Nothing will change with the music on the first drive that's already in the iTunes library. You still would only have one iTunes library file (the data base), but the library file actually would be pointing to music on the two different hard drives.
