So I'm not sure how this would work with purchased tracks, but you should be able to copy your whole iTunes folder from the internal drive to the external drive, hold down option while launching iTunes and then point it to your external drive copy of the library.

This could probably be done by connecting your external drive, and porting your directory manually (what you have thus far). Then, there is an option in iTunes regarding importing, I believe somewhere in there is the option to change to the external drive.

    Hi everyone,

    I have upgraded my macbook pro with an ssd and wanted to know if i
    could have an external hard drive as the actual itunes library.

    The detail in this set up is that i would like any and all content
    that i download on itunes to be automatically copied to the
    external disk without going through the computer's SSD.

    The reson i do this is because i'm preparing my system as a DAW
    and all the media samples loops etc would come from external
    disks. And i want to save as much space as possible on the laptop
    itself with only editing tools installed and everything else,
    photos, videos, music, etc on the same external hard disk, which
    itself is a firewire 800


    Ok this was a bit, but anyone succesfully set up his/her computer
    this way?


    Best regards,
