  Your My Music folder naturally has a list cause its the actual storage location
  
  Meanwhile itunes jus sorta reflect the songs that are stored on your computer.

  i think all your mp3 should be under the address at iTunes Music folder location, at least that's for me. so, u can just move the folder over to your d drive

  i just want to free up space in my C Drive
  
  so since the music is stored in my music
  the GB is from C drive or D drive leh?
  
  as i mentioned b4
  C drive left 2.82 GB
  D Drive got 9.21 GB
  
  i was thinking my itunes is in C drive
  then i thot all my songs are going into C drive
  so if I keep copying songs into itunes
  then my C drive will not have enough space (becos my ipod is 4 GB and my C Drive only 2 point something GB and I need C drive for future use also...)
  
  you know what i mean?
  
  so do i still need to uninstall itunes from C drive
  and install in D drive?

  Ok so u want to free up space in your C drive by moving all the mp3 files in your C drive to D drive?
  
  U know where the actual songs are stored?
  
  Is it C:\ My Music Or somewhere else?
  
  Ok. U can store your mp3s anywhere u want in your com. U can even cr8 a 'My Music ' folder in D drive and move all you current mp3 files in it

  To move to D drive..
  
  For starters u can try TweakUi.
  
  http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
  
  Install it and then run it
  
  Expand out the' My Computer' option in the tweakui program
  
  Go to special folders
  
  In the drop down menu select 'My Music' then press 'change location'
  
  Then there u go..
  
  Im not sure if this method can auto move your mp3 files to that new location.But its worth a try if your mp3 collection is big(Eg more than 2GB). Sorry i 4got cause its been a long time since i execute this method If this method doesn auto move your files to their new location no choice have to cut and paste lor..
  
  But if your mp3 collection is small then jus cut and paste the mp3 files from your current folder to the new folder la

  Sorry for direct rip from itunes im not sure
  
  But u can try surfin ard their options/preferences menu and see wad u can do?
  
  Safest bet is after u cut and paste u use the tweak UI method.Windows will then recognise your 'D:/My Music' to be the default folder folder.
  
  But still see wad changes u can make in itunes yea?
