this is a heads-up for anyone using iTunes to preview/playback their
unreleased music: my copy (iTunes 7.5/OSX Intel) just ate a bunch of
really nice music that i'd made (aiff files) that i have no way of
getting back.
obviously i'm not very happy about this at all, as i didn't have backups.
this isn't the first time i've noticed iTunes deleting files, but it is
the first time i've noticed it deleting files that i was referencing
elsewhere on the harddrive, rather than in its structured iTunes Library
folder.
you have been warned.
