Keep iTunes media folder organized - Can a user prevent this, Forever?
When the "Keep iTunes media folder organized" checkbox is checked, iTunes adds a Track Number prefix to the Windows file name of every song, based on the track number of the album in which the song resides. Since for personal reasons I do NOT want this to happen, I always keep the "Keep iTunes media folder organized" checkbox UNchecked.
However, in my experience, the checkbox can revert, unnoticed, to its default (checked) under mysterious circumstances. When this happens, I've found through bitter experience that iTunes carries out this process behind the scenes, completely ruining my own personal Windows song file naming scheme.
I wish there was an iTunes Windows Registry hack of some kind that could remove iTune's ability to "Keep iTunes media folder organized".
I always worry whenever an iTunes Update is issued, that the update will somehow return the checkbox to the iTunes default Checked setting, triggering iTunes to run amok and re-wreck all my song file names. Since I have thousands of songs, this becomes a monster problem.
