Can I have my Itunes library automatically sync with an external hard
drive? How would I then sync my files from the hard drive to the Ipod?
Can I have more music than my macbooks internal hard drive can hold on
my Ipod if I have an external hard drive? Or do I have to have my
music collection on my macbook hard drive in order to sync it
automatically with my Ipod?
LOL, sorry, I am a bit confused as to how all this works!

Hi Olivia, they might be a bit more expensive, but if you already
have a router and a network, then network attached might be the way
to go, especially if you don't plan to move it. USB is great for
portability, but now we're getting up to 8 and 12 usb ports on a
chassey and the power consumption vs performance is getting just a
bit rediculous, especially for mac users who have access to really
good network and firewire support.
So, if you're going to carry it around with you go USB, and if
you're going to leave it stationary, go network. These are really
easy to put together, so I'd buy the hard drive and enclosure
seperate and then you can have the componants you want. Some of the
new sata enclosures support up to a terabyte now which is just
rediculous.
I can talk you through it over the phone if you decide to get the
componants and build it yourself.
Best,
Erik

Hi Everyone,
Now that I have been downloading movies and TV shows thanks to
Itunes 8 I know I will need an external hard drive. What kinds of
hard drives do people have, and which ones would you recommend.
Also, How would I have my Itunes library downloaded onto an
external drive and sync my Ipod with it?
Thanks so much for any advice!
Olivia
