One way to migrate an iTunes collection to another drive
Maybe I am missing something here but the simple solution is as basically above.
One way to migrate an iTunes collection to another drive
I would have done the above unix mojo solution, but I didn't know about the option-key iTunes start-up trick! I need to move my library to an external disk, so I'll be using that one soon! Cool. Thanks. Is there a way to duplicate a subset of your library in another location, like say I want everything on an external drive, but keep a copy of all the songs of a particular playlist or star-rating to all be on my internal drive as well. Is there a way to do that easily so that it stays up to date dynamically? I.e., if I add songs to either library, they sync up when the external disk is connected?

Great question Rob. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer.

"Maybe I am missing something here..."
I do not let iTunes organize my music or videos, they are kept in separate folders. In doing it this way, I ran into link trouble unless I named the new drive exactly the same as the old one. Then I had inode problems, that being, if I ever moved or renamed a folder, the link would be broken--iTunes would not be able to track it. There are more issues that required a complete reimport from the new drive. Hence the hint. |
