Do I quit iTunes, move the iTunes folder, and then open iTunes and use Advanced Preferences to change the pointer? Answering my own question, I guess that must be the sequence, since it would not work too well if I first tried to change the pointer to a location that did not yet exist. :) >> What is the best way to keep much of ~/Movies on a different disk, but still >> have the content appear to be in ~/Movies?

I guess it's because I've always kept my camcorder videos and EyeTV recordings in subfolders within the ~/Movies directory. I suppose I could keep them elsewhere and not bother with links. Is that your point? If I do decide to make them appear to be in ~/Movies, though, is a symbolic link the best option?
