Move an iTunes library to just about anywhere
Authored by: dwebb66 on Feb 07, '09 01:43:34PM

Can someone please verify that music selection in the other iLife programs still work? I tried this about a year ago and the other programs could not find the music. For example adding music to a photo slideshow.

I can confirm that this works. I have no problem finding my music in iMovie after having done a similar over-the-top move of my iTunes library. I wrote up my trials and tribulations moving my library here:

There's some Perl to verify that you've moved all the files and didn't miss anything. That script could easily be modified to do the .xml file conversion to the new file:// path. I did just do a find-and-replace in vim though...
