Hi. This hasn't changed in Leopard and the new itunes. You want to
go to the advanced section of itunes, and under the general tab,
press
the change button. What you should get then is the standard select
file dialog which is similar to the finder. I would expect that your
external drive should be under devices in the side bar.

OK. I think Jed's in the sequence where he has pressed the change
button. The problem I've found here is that access to the sidebar
in Tiger still gives "unknown" when I interact. (Oddly enough,
Automator works fine in trying to find folders and show other disks
with VoiceOver). I don't use an external hard drive this way, but
I find
that I can input the name location in the
blank search search text field
If the hard drive has a name like "scr0" then if I type in:
/Volumes/scr0 plus any subfolder location on that hard drive
and carriage return, the name will "take"
I think this is case sensitive so the Volumes needs a capital "V"
and each part of the address is separated with slashes, including
a slash before Volume.
This works for me. I would create a folder for the location
I wanted to use on my hard drive first and then type that location
in after /Volumes
I somehow think this is easier in Leopard (smile)?
Cheers,
Esther

Hey guys,
Alright, i got the spot where you can change your itunes music
folder. Is this what i have to do?
Someone who has Leopard and the latest iTunes running may
correct me, but I think you want to do command-comma then
command-6 in iTunes for the Advanced menu, then use item
chooser to select the general tab.
When I VO-keys right arrow I hear (after General, selected tab 1 of
3):
Importing
Burning (other 2 tabs in Advanced menu)
iTunes Music folder location
Macintosh HD: Users;esther:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music
Change button
Reset button
Keep iTunes Music folder organized, checked checkbox
Places files into album and artist folders, and names the files
based on
the disc number, track number, and the song title
Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library, checked
checkbox
(other options about using iTunes for internet playback and
streaming
settings)
Can Darcy or Penny (or someone who has the most recent iTunes on
Leopard) verfiy and assist?
Here's what i see when i go vo right arrow
chose button
dimmed button
dimmed button
selected radio button
radio button
itunes music popup button
blank
blank search search text field
unknown
unknown
outline
new folder button
cancel button.
Those are all the options that i see
Now those radio buttons i have no clue what they do, or how i would
even look for my external ahrddrive.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jed
