I originally used iTunes to manage my music library and it worked. Over the last while I've purchased formats that iTunes won't play (DSD, higher sampling rates), and I put all of those in a separate set of folders. I use JRiver to play those files. That worked as long as there was a modest collection of files. Now the stuff-iTunes-won't-play is getting big & messy.
Sticking it all into iTunes would simplify the database management. The question is, will iTunes do anything damaging to the files it cannot play?

Investigated my own question. Bought & downloaded a dsf album. Tried add folder to library and iTunes did precisely nothing. Presumably if it doesnt recognise the filetype it ignores it.
Oh well, just have to work on my file housekeeping.

lol - that's what I was *thinking*, but I wasn't sure about the latest versions of itunes, so I kept quiet.

Thanks for coming back to post the answer for the community!

You might check MediaMonkey - it might do something different.
