I bought a CD and ripped it to my pc using Windows media player to my desktop, I then renamed all the tunes and put them in my music folder. After 2days I noticed I had a new folder on my desktop and in it was all the tunes from the CD & they had the same file name as when they were ripped! I moved them back to my music folder and the same thing happened again! Anyone know why this has happened?

Thanks,

Perhaps your music folder's on a different drive to your desktop and you used the drag-and-drop default "copy" thinking it was the more usual "move" and you renamed the tunes in the music folder instead of the desktop folder.

Apart from Windows Media Player Do you use iTunes, iTunes has the capability to do strange things, it can be set to look after your music where it will change your music directories and place files in order for itself. If this is the case then you can turn this feature off in iTunes itself.

To check - Open iTunes
From the top menu - Select Edit -> Preferences, select the advanced tab
Take any ticks out of the two top checkboxes - Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library
