Hey asshole. . . fuck off. . my syntax was exact. Trust me. . I tested my command line before executing it. I watched it work in a test scenario with a couple of folders before I pointed it at my real library. And it worked appropriately. . . first I manually copied some folders from my library into the add to itunes folder, and it imported the folders just fine. Then I tested my command line against a temp folder and watched it work fine. Then I pointed the command line at my main library, I watched the folders move from one folder to the "Automatically Add To iTunes Folder" . . . and then watched as ITunes deleted them . .
It got in a state where it would delete them even if I manually copied to the folder (my intial test).
No. . I dont have my music backed up. . I only back up system state and my active directory. I've never had a drive fail in a manner that I couldn't get my data out of it.
I expected iTunes to work.
I am kicking myself in the ass because I forgot about winamp.
crApple sux as does shItunes
