ericsenf: mccarron: Such a great feature that most people will not even notice, iTunes 9 allows better organization of the media library. zachholman: The iTunes organizational hierarchy has been slowly getting more and more disorganized with each feature Apple adds. When you let iTunes manage your files, traditionally they toss everything in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. That works great when everything in “iTunes Music” is, you know, music. Once they’ve tossed movies, podcasts, and a slew of other features in the mix, your directory hierarchy gets really nonsensical with everything in one big ol’ pile. iTunes 9 finally moves away from this mentality, though the feature is hidden by default. iTunes now lets you organize everything into an upper level “iTunes Media” folder structure, which then breaks out neatly into logical groupings: movies, apps, shows, and so on. You can find this in File => Library => Organize Library. You’re welcome. This, most certainly, is a great feature in iTunes 9 I would have otherwise missed. Sorry for the several levels of reblog but this is just too awesome not to post. For those of you who are like me and care about how your media is organized, this  is a very big deal.
