Title: iTunes Library on an external HD
Post by: Bill-R on August 13, 2008, 05:07:36 PM

I have a small external HD (80 gig) and I want to put music on it to play on iTunes.  Is it possible to have iTunes point to the external for it's library instead of the internal. I am using a small iBook that has only about 4 gig left on it's HD and therefore no room for music.


Thanks,

Bill

Yes. Hold down the OPTION key when launching iTunes and you'll get a dialog box like this:

Select what you want and play away. I believe that once you tell iTunes your library is "there", it will remember that location until you change it (by using the OPTION key again).
