Leopard Upgrade Ignores iTunes Library Location

Today I was checking the podcasts in iTunes and noticed that all the music in my iTunes library seemed to be missing. What I found was that the location of the iTunes library was reset to be ~/Music/iTunes directory from whatever it was in the upgrade. Now with I got the first versions of Mac OS X, the iTunes library was installed in ~/Documents/iTunes and up until this upgrade, that was preserved. Well, not this time. So I decided to clean house a little and so I copied the files from ~/Documents/iTunes to ~/Music/iTunes and then tarballed the old directory up and put it on my external drive. Then I deleted it from the old location and started running it from the new location.

Seems to be working just fine. Just seems a little odd that they didn't pick up the preferences value.
