Why do I still hear the Music on my PC ?


I have been ripping my CD's to an external hard drive for some time now. I think I have completed about 1200 CD's.

Today, without the Hard Drive connected to my PC I double clicked on one of my I Tunes listed songs and the song started to play!

So, is the music still on my Computers internal Hardrive?

Thanks but I started ripping the CD's after I installed the external Harddrive.
The Computer is fairly new and nothing was ever planned to be stored on the Computers Drive.

I did notice however, that inside the ITunes Advanced settings the box was checked "Copy files to Itunes Media Folder when adding to Library".
Should that be checked or unchecked?
Within iTunes click on a song and choose File/Get Info. This will show where the song file is being stored.
Thanks , your right. Somehow some of my later rips went to C. i need to fix that.
Is there a easy way to transfer them to my hard drive and off of C ?
Well I think with the help of this posting and responses and emails I have recieved I think I discovered what went wrong and how to fix it.

First off, with the help of the above poster Onhwy61 and telling me to check the "Get Info" tab I was able to find where the songs were being stored. That showed it was stored, c:users\ozzy\music\itunes\itunes media

With that info I copied that path and pasted it into the "Search Programs and Files". Then the elusive music file became visible.

I was able to right click on the "Music" and one of the options was to "Send To"
I then sent that file to my external Drive. It took about 2 hours to transfer all , but now its done.
I then deleted the C: Music files.

Final Notes:
I still dont know how some of my ripped Cd's went to the C Drive, but at least I know how to correct it.

I also think that Windows 7 certainly made it hard to find where the music was stored.
