changing many songs' file location for iTunes
Hello. I have all my MP3s stored on two places on my home network. One is stored on my Windows client which is what iTunes uses. I also store them on my Linux machine using Samba. I would like to change iTunes from using the Windows network share to the Linux one (which is on 24/7 and has an uptime of over 110 days). What would be the best way to do this? I found the files where iTunes stores the Library, but there are two files and I don't know which one to edit. Should I edit the .xml file or the other one? Or, is there an easier way?
Thanks,
Andrew Hitchcock

Hope this is what you're looking for.
If you do this you will lose some metadata, times played, ratings etc.
This seems easiest, is there a reason why this won't work for you?
stupider...likeafox: Okay, thanks. I tried editing my library file with no success. I guess I will just do that then. The reason I am hesitant is because I have rated a lot of songs and, since I don't use iTunes very often, it took a while to build up somes stats. However, if I get an iPod on Monday it won't matter if I wipe the stats now because they will be rebuilt real fast.
will tell you everything you need
