You can add a button on the toolbar to open the corresponding folder in Explorer.
Right-click on the toolbar -> Configure -> Drag the available action to desired toolbar:

I think the issue for some is that it's hidden under Find More from Same, but this is good in my opinion as otherwise the right click menu gets even larger.

you note that there is three of those options (Library, My computer & Explorer) it just needed to be like that :( Also as all can be archived with D&D I never use it unless I really need it and with MM4 I will need it even less than with MM3

The current naming is logic and consistent with the other entries.

But I agree that it's not standard and that it may be easily missed by new users.

So I don't know what's best in this case.

Finding and moving files around would be made easier.
Windows Media Player and Rhapsody both have this option.
WDYT?
Thanks...
I had to ask this same question way back too, so maybe the menu name isn't as intuitive as it should be.

Another way to look at it is that "Find" implies it's going to take you to, or bring you the item you're trying to find. Which it does, by bringing the explorer window up for you. I see nothing wrong with the current naming convention.

OK that should SO be renamed to something more standard. Anything with the word "find" looks like it's doing a search and returning the result of some query. Suggest it be renamed "Open Current File Location" or something similar, perhaps whatever iTunes calls it.
