Files have turned into Folders

I have been sorting out my Music Folder which contains about 700+ files. At
the same time I was transferring some of these files over to iTunes so that I
could put them on my iPod. However, when I went back to my Music Folder, I
found that all the files had been turned into folders, i.e. all songs by the
same artist, say Anastacia, have now been put into a folder named
'Anastacia'. I have tried changing the View to show the 'Details' again, but
nothing happens. Will I have to open up each folder and manually transfer
the files within back into the 'Music' Folder.

I'm not sure whether I've explained this very well, but any help would be
appreciated.

That is iTunes. It asks you after installation if you want it to
automatically manage your music files, or if you want to manage them
yourself. You probably picked the automatic (default) option.
 
Thanks for the reply, but is there some way I can reverse this process so
that my files are simply a detailed list again.
 
First
Set iTunes to let you organize your music (in the preferences).
Then
Extract the contents of the folders (the songs), then delete the folders.
 
Many thanks. I'm working on it now.
