Just grab the whole iTunes folder from your current drive and copy it to
the external. Then hold down the option key when you launch iTunes to
make it ask you where the library is. Point it to your new copy on the
external drive and you're done. After that you can toss the old iTunes
folder that you copied into the trash. Note that if you don't have your
external hard drive and you launch iTunes it won't be able to find the
iTunes library and will revert back to your internal hard drive. Then
the next time your external drive is hooked up again you'll need to
re-point iTunes to the external iTunes folder. There was discussion of
work arounds previously on this list if you are concerned about having
to re-point iTunes when the external drive is not present.

Hello listers, what is the easiest way to move my whole itunes library to a
external drive? After it is all said and done what files are ok to delete from
the computer?
Thanks, Ed
