iTunes

i bought a laptop recently and i wanted to transfer all me music over...so i borrowed a freinds portable hard drive and transfered the files on to it and then onto my laptop...but when i try and play a song in itunes now it tells me i have to locate the song before it will play (which i can do) but with 5000 songs i dont want to have to do this every time....any suggestions??
ta! :confused:

Have you imported your songs into the iTunes library?

why do people use iTunes as a media player? I loathe it
winAmp - http://www.winamp.com/ - is the way to go

Itunes has two sets of files. The music itself and the library index.

You need to point your itunes at the new location of your music files.
