Hi, I don't have a new library location, as my new big disk is only storage as my old smaller disk was. I just want to point iTunes to the new disk where all my music is now. It's an identical copy of all the music on my original smaller disk. I hate to bloat my system disk with all those files.
I followed your instructions and iTunes reworked the whole shebang but I'm still stuck and have to point iTunes to every new track location. What a PITA ... Regards, Jörg.
