Using Windows 10 File Explorer To Back Up iTunes With A Flash Drive


Hi all,

I bought a 128 GB flash drive to back up my entire iTunes playlist using the Windows 10 File Explorer, and I want to confirm the steps I plan to take.....

Go to File Explorer and select Music / iTunes / iTunes Music. Plug in the flash drive. Drag the iTunes Music file to the flash drive.

Correct?

Windows 10 and iTunes

Hi Tony,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

What is the complete message that you get when you locate the music files?

Try the below methods and check if this helps.

Method 1:
Back up and restore your iTunes Library.

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in

Back up and restore your iTunes Library,
restart the computer once after making the changes, and check if this helps.

Method 2:
Properly Set up iTunes' Directory Structure.

Step 1: Ensure the iTunes library is properly located by going to the
Advanced section of the iTunes preferences and selecting the
Importing tab.

Step 2: Select
Change and locate your iTunes Music folder in the resulting window.

Step 3: If the iTunes Music folder should be in the default location in the user's Music directory, clicking the
Reset button should correct any path errors for the library.

Method 3:
Rebuild The iTunes Library.

Step 1: Select all of the songs in iTunes and press the delete key.

Step 2: Choose the option to keep all the song files themselves and when the iTunes window is empty, open iTunes Music directory and select all items
in that directory.

Step 3: Drag them to the iTunes window and confirm the import.

Step 4:
Restart the computer once after the import and check for the issue.

Method 4:
Move All The Music On Your Operating System Drive.

If the above methods didn't work, then try moving all the music files onto your Operating System Drive and then add them to iTunes.

For reference, you may also refer to

If you don't see your entire library after you update iTunes on your Mac or PC and see if this helps.
