Separate iTunes Libraries (Music, Movies, TV Shows...etc)
I don't think this is quite the same question that has been asked here several times.
I would like to have Music, Podcasts in one folder and Movies and TV Shows in another folder. I don't want to hold the option key while executing iTunes, I just want iTunes to find my music in its normal place (home > Music > iTunes) and have iTunes to see my movies and TV shows in another (external drive > movies > My Movies).
I can't find anywhere where this is done. Is this possible?

You could do it if you disallow iTunes from managing your library for you. If you manually add media files to the iTunes library and manually manage the file structure where the files are stored, this would be possible.
~/Music/MP3s/
~/Movies/iPhone/
As Kishan said, you juts have to enable manual library management in the iTunes prefs and then you can move the files to wherever you want.
Does Front Row still find all your stuff OK with manual library management?
