slightly worrying itunes occurance

Hey all, just totally formatted my computer, even changed my mainboard and graphics card, I just installed itunes and gave it no access privalges, its not connected to the net and i told it to NOT search for files.

And then I just loaded up itunes, and there is all my music, playlists and everything, its like i didnt format, i even changed the directory and harddrive of all of my music :confused:

how on earth has it done that, and it didnt even search, all music is playing properely, has apple got 'perfect' software or have they 'stolen' my info to store a list of what I have on there systems, (even if they have, wouldnt it point to my old directory) ? :eek:

When i installed iTunes, there was nothing in the library. I had to add my music folder for it to see them.

Sounds like you didn't format it properly.

I've just a normal format using the XP disc and when I installed XP again I found an error log in the windows directly saying that my computer name is the same as it was before or something.

Low Level Format 4tw.

Er yes mate definently formatted it properly,

1) Iv been a computer enthusiast/'expert' for about 15 years

2) It was a brand new harddrive out the sealed bag !! :eek:

Hmmm, im thinking either the music I saved has the info embedded in them somewhere or apple really are sneaky spying gits :eek:
