iTunes music is saved in the following locations by default, depending on your operating system:

• C:\Users\[User Name]Your [User Name] will vary depending on how you set up your computer. If you do not see your own name, your files are most likely in something generic, such as Owner or User.\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media.
