There was some controversy about the security of Google Desktop, but maybe that was just fear-mongering. Anyway, the indexing-of-files feature is similar to 'Spotlight' on the Mac - both help you find files very quickly.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Raq, I think if you tell iTunes to consolidate your music it will copy everything it can find into its own folders so that it can access them again.

DH says the multiple computer option has security issues as the index of your files lives on the google server (I'm paraphrasing and my understanding pretty low, so interpret freely). W/o that feature, you need a firewall because google desktop "installs a little web server that you don't want to expose".
It seems, in practice, to give PCs some Mac functionality.

there's a section labeled 'Labels'
I never even considered that those might sort the mail. I've been poking things for hours, and kept looking at that list, and it just didn't look like the kind of GUI that sorted.
IOW, duh. And thanks!

See, this is my concern. I don't know if I need the Spotlightish feature enough to store my index with the GoogleGods, although occasionally it would save a lot of time.

Done that, and it found the new location no prob, but I still have a bunch of duplicate listings in my library.

If you don't use the search across multiple computers feature, storing thei ndex on google servers is not an issue. So says DH, who is a security administrator, so he tends toward the cautious. [link] for more detail.

I think if you just right-click on a duplicate entry, the pop-up menu has a delete option. This is the sucky, one song at a time method, but I think that would work.

There are scripts you can use to kill duplicate iTunes entries. Um, for Mac only.

I have to idea what the "101" means.
