Does this mean the song wont play on my ipod?

Question

i downloaded music from forstwire, and i put it in a folder.... and then put it in my itunes...

then i moved the folder and if i click the song on itunes, it says it cant be played cause the file has been moved or something like that... does that mean the song wont work on my ipod...

i dont have my ipod yet, im getting it in two days, and i wanna get all my music ready.so dont tell me to try it..

Answer 1

It means that the drive you had the songs on has been disconnected.

to ensure the tunes stay in itunes check 'let itunes manage my music' in the pref then when you have the correct disk in the drive select 'consolidate library and it will copy the song into the itunes directory - otherwise itunes just carries the pointer to where the song it but not the file and gives you the message you have.
