How do you remove songs only from iTunes?

[Denis Trailin]

I need you're help Escapees. I have some games one my computer and when I installed iTunes it took all the sounds from those games and put them on iTunes. Here's where I need you're help, how do I remove songs from iTunes without deleting the original copies?

I'm not familiar with iTunes, but there should be a "Delete from library" option of some sort. All else fails you can add all songs to a playlist manually.

Select the individual songs you want to remove and then go to the File menu and select "remove from library"

Dammit keyboard! Why must you have an auto-shutdown button!?

OT:Follow the steps:
1) Click on song
2) Press delete button
3)????
4) Profit

Deleting a song from your iTunes library won't automatically delete it from the original file location.

I have about 3000 files that's not going to work.

Ok, thank you.

No problem. Also, just a tip for your future posting within these forums, there's a fancy button in the lower right hand corner of everyone's post, next to the 'Reply' button that says 'Quote'. Clicking this will help you quote another poster and alert them that you have responded to them. It's a very handy tool in keeping the flow of conversation up and running.
