When you say file you mean folder right? When you search you can actually right click and tell windows to open the location

yes a folder when i search and windows finds it and i right click there is no option to open the file but if you click properties you can open that

Isn't it something to do with Itunes needing to make a lower grade copy for ipods, and then somehow the originals have either been deleted manually or via some random spaz from itunes?

i have no idea ?

I don't use Itunes very often, but I remember it always imports music then makes a low grade copy for some reason. I don't know why one of the copies has disappeared though, but itunes seems a bit flakey on windows, so anything is possible.

I have this all over the place in my iTunes library. WHen you import a load of stuff, and then edit it and set it as a Compilation, it copies the files to a Compilation folder but seems to mostly leave an empty artist/album folder aswell. I use Treesize to find them all and delete the empty ones. Hasnt caused any problems in the last 7 years of having an iPod !!!

Its to do with how itunes organises your music so its searchable by artist or album or genre etc.
