WHY???

The book already exists in the Biographies folder - and is still there!
Because some of us want to organize all of our books permanently, and not just until we read them.

I had to abandon iTunes because it links to the music file instead of copying it. Following a computer rebuild, the data hard drive ended up with a different drive letter. I didn't realize what I'd done until after I'd added a bunch of new music. Since most, but not all, of the links to the music files were broken, I had to start over.
