Possible to have 2 iTunes libraries with this hint?
Authored by: berland on Feb 19, '05 04:47:48PM

Wouldn't this be a possibility to manage 2 different iTunes libraries?

I have my music on an external drive and I'm a Notebook user who would like to carry a 2nd smaller library with him on the pbook. This isn't really possible at the moment as far as I know, but this hint looks promising, doesn't it? Too bad I'm not able to figure out something like that for myself.

try this hint.

Now when I launch iTunes, the script checks to see if my server share is mounted. If so, iTunes opens my entire server music library. If not, iTunes opens my current favorites local music library. If iTunes is already running, it just brings iTunes to the foreground.

You could create another user account that uses the second iTunes library and always keep it logged in with iTunes open, and simply share the library locally to the other account. I do this on my PowerBook because I have a second account for doing demos (I'm an Apple campus rep) and I like to keep it's iTunes library populated without duplicating a lot of data.
