  14. Ola! Arvind,
    Very interesting, I recently switched computers and am trying to move all my music files from a USB device to my new iTunes library. It allowa me to open the files with iTunes one by one, but there are 1,400+ files I need to open. I already have them all in my desktop, but the option “open with iTunes” isn’t there, only “open with windows media player.”
    Wishes
