I have an itunes problem....When I go to itunes to listen to some of my songs (typically one whole album), itunes will say "the song can't be used because the origional file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"

If I click "yes" it'll take me to the itunes libarary and itunes folder. Problem is, there are "loose" songs there, not in folders. Usually there will be an artists folder>albums>songs, but I have some songs that are not in the correct folders even though they are named properly. When I drag them into the artists folder>album etc. itunes still doesn't see them.

IS there a program out there that can manage all music, mp3 etc and get them into the correct place? Maybe even get rid of duplicates???

iTunes will sort them for you, if you let it, and if your songs are properly tagged.

To get iTunes to see the song, just drag it into the iTunes window.

YES!

Welcome to Mac - the place where, if you want something somewhere, you just grab it and PUT it there.
