Hi Jed,
I have all my music on my external hard drive. I have my iTunes
library set to my external drive so when my drive is not connected -
that music can't play.
I find this to be quite a good way of getting around it - when I add
music to my external drive it is updated in iTunes, no space
wasted on
my internal HD
I set my iTunes library destination in the preferences menu.
A number of people use Penny's solution of setting their iTunes
library to their external hard drive. You set the library location
in the iTunes preferences on the general tab of the Advanced
menu (if this hasn't changed). The first entry lets you set the
default location for your iTunes Music folder. This is the default
location for your music files, if you have "Copy files to iTunes Music
folder when adding to library" checked. This solution works best
for people who are using desktop Macs, since the files are only
accessible when the external hard drive is connected.
You can also change the default library iTunes Music library
location to a different external hard drive if your original
hard drive fills up. Also, if the new external hard drive is
larger, using
the "Consolidate Library" command under the Advanced menu
will move all files that were stored in other locations, such as
the original external hard drive, into whatever the current
setting is for the default iTunes Music Library location.
Cheers,
Esther
