iTunes - move music library?
iTunes places your music library by default in:
/Users/me/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/
Can I move that to a different drive and/or directory and tell iTunes to look for it there?
I think I know one way to do it:
Copy all the Mp3s to the new directory/drive, delete the old library from iTunes and have iTunes search your computer for Mp3 files. But I'm not sure if thats a good way to do it or not.
Is there a better way?
/Users/me/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/

Man that was simple, I should have looked there. Thanks a ton!
