alright, y problem is pointing to this extrenal harddrive. Here's
what i am doing.
I can not find it anywhere at all.
It seem like when i place it in to the USB port, it shows up, but
then goes away after about 20 minutes.
Do you have a step by step instruction for pointing the library to
there?

Hi. You really should consider doing what Penny suggested in
another thread, and set your itunes library to the external drive.
Personally I love the way itunes organizes my music, and you might
want to take another look at it. Prior to itunes, I also used
winamp in windows, and selected songs with windows explorer. But
things are so much better in itunes, where you can use either the
search box, or the browser to have your music sorted in to genre,
artist and album. I find I can get to the music I want much faster
than I could in the winamp days. Plus, you can use smart playlists
to sort your music based on various criteria. For example, you
could have smart playlists, to just play music from a certain year,
or certain decade. I have a playlist called "songs never played".
Its purpose is for when I've just added a bunch of new music to my
itunes library. I can select this playlist, hit shuffle, and then
I get random music I haven't played before. You can do much more
creative things with smart playlists, I'm just starting to play
with them.
But at any rate, there are some great reasons to have itunes
organize your library. It's hard sometimes to get used to a new
way of doing things, but for me at least, I've found it a much
better way to go.

Hey guys, There has gotta be an easier way to play music on a mac.
I need a program that was quick and dirty like winamp in windows.
I never had to add music to a library. I wanna be able to open a
folder, highlight a bunch of tracks, and lick play, and cyce
through them.
Can this be done?
It almost seems like itunes is way too complicated, and is basicly
forcing you to organize stuff. I don't want to clutter my
internal harddrive with music, that's exactly why i got the external.
Any ideas?
I did the command O, and i ould not find my external harddrive in
my list.
Can someone go through a step by step process of adding a foler of
tunes that i can listen to?
I'm royally confused.
Thanks,
Jed
