How to run iTunes from an external hard disk?
As your iTunes library expands, it will eventually outgrow the capability of your
computerʼs hard disk. Instead of deleting songs, there is the possibility to
transfer your iTunes library over to an external hard disk and listen to your songs
directly from it.
Before we start, we need to make sure that all of your songs are kept properly in a folder. If
you allowed iTunes to manage your files, thatʼs great. If not, then youʼll need to consolidate
your library - follow the instructions below.
In iTunes advanced preferences, check the box next to ʻKeep iTunes music folder
organizedʼ and note the location of the music folder.
On Macs, itʼs usually located in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. On Windows, the iTunes
music folder is saved in My Documents/Music/iTunes.
new
tip!
It is not necessary to check the box next to ʻCopy files to
iTunes Music folder when adding to libraryʼ
