Yes, I believe you are correct. IIRC, all one does is hold down the option key when you launch iTunes and direct it towards the library you wish to use. Hey gang, I presume one can do the same with an external FW drive, yes? I have a nice little 2.5" FW SATA enclosure that would do just this if it is compatible with the concept. Best regards, Dana
