Move iTunes audio files between hard drives via script
Authored by: nmerriam on Sep 28, '05 03:53:37PM

You know that you can just change the library location in iTunes' preferences and then tell iTunes to organize your files. Voila, everything is copied to the new location.

Or is this doing something else?

Move iTunes audio files between hard drives via script

This script will allow you to not have to move the entire library to a different disk. So that you can keep most of the library on your laptop hard drive, but move some of the files to the larger desktop drive which will only be accessible when at home.

I have been messing with this for sometime and I finally succeeded, I exported the library to my external hard drive. Then I deleted the iTunes library from my C drive (but I did not empty the recycle bin until I was sure I had it right) Then I opened iTunes and it was empty so I hit import library and selected it from my eternal hard drive file and there it was. I believe somewhere in the process I may have changed the preferences also. Once I made sure every single song was there I emptied the recycle bin and it was done!!!
