*Smile,* now I have some more questions. How do I make a disk image? If I go to this separate holiday library, how do I move my current holiday music and playlists to that new library?
I've been trying to find more info on the grouping field, with no luck. I was wondering if I could organize things better, if I made some grouping across the board. For example any holiday music I have has the same grouping, because I have a handfull of genres under holiday music. Hmmm... The separate library thing might be a better fit for me. Can my iDevices sync with 2 libraries come next Christmas?

Since I started using iTunes, I've maintained a separate library for Christmas music. My reasons for doing this were that I didn't want my Christmas music syncing over to my iDevices, and I also wanted that music sorted in to multiple genres. At the end of each year, I create a disk image of my iTunes Christmas library folder, and move that over to my backup drive. There are of course some drawbacks to this approach. Mainly that if you use iTunes for podcasts and audio books, you have to switch back and forth between libraries. I haven't decided for sure yet, but next year I may move all my Holiday music to my main iTunes library. I'm thinking that I might change the genres on all the music to Holiday, and then use the grouping field for sub-genres.

Something I read about today was creating a separate iTunes library just for holiday music. I found this idea kind of clever. Has anyone gone this way? If so, is it pretty easy to move all the music to that new library? Also, I'd possibly like to then move that library to an external hard drive, including playlist settings and such. The other idea I read was creating a holiday music folder inside the main iTunes library. *Grin,* I didn't read further on this idea, so I don't fully understand iTunes folders. Anyway, what are your thoughts? Thanks, Traci Sent by Macbook Air Mail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
