Using PC I right click study song mp3 file and select "save as" I then save it as mp3 to my desktop. I open itunes and then open my study song file on itunes. I grab the mp3 study song from desktop and drag and drop in study song file. It appears there and will play. However, if I delete the song from the desktop (can't have every song remain on the desktop once it is moved to itunes), so if I delete the song from the desktop and then go back to itunes and hit play I get error that says: "The song walk with me 30 percent slow could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I watched your video several times on how to move study songs to itunes and believe I am doing what you showed on the video. Any suggestions?

Hello lhobdey. You have some

Hello lhobdey. You have some options...

1) Place the files in the actual music folder iTunes uses to house its music files. You'll need to do a little bit of searching to find it, but this is the most direct place to place the music file and then drag it into iTunes

2) Place the files in one folder on your desktop and keep them in there... again, dragging them into iTunes. I do it this way on my PC.
