    I installed the Macdrive trial version and played a few songs that are on my osx partition, but now I can't see the songs I played in my finder window. They still show up in itunes though. I tried adding them to my library again but I still can't see them in finder. Any clue how to fix this?

    So in iTunes (in OS X) when you right-click a song and select "Show in Finder", what happens?

    You may also want to configure iTunes in Windows to NOT "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" or "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library".

    Thanks Xander, showing the song in finder makes it reappear again. Now I just have to do it for all the songs I played. I also used windows media player to play the songs in windows, not itunes. Side note: Nice to meet a fellow OSU student.
