Move a File in the Finder

NPR Music Host Deletes His Songs on Purpose
I have a friend who tried to do this and he said it was a mess. He said a lot of albums were incomplete. He gave up on the whole thing. Personally, I haven't been tempted to try it. I don't want to have to rely on an Internet connection to listen to my music.
For a pro to trust brand new technology on 'another man's computer?' Eeek.
The old joke that 'pioneers get shot by the Indians' hopefully won't apply to this trusting soul.
An older fellow probably wouldn't have done this. I don't know his age, but I suspect he is younger and hasn't had his fingers often burned by false promises and technology failures like most of us senior techs.
