iTunes Help: Moving Music Between Drives....
The MacNN Message board was no help (yet) so I will try here...
Okay, so I have roughly 160GBs of music (yes, it is all legal) on an external hard drive. I am out of space, and would like to retire the music on my new iMac G5 and when I copy all of the music over, it of course comes up with a broken link in iTunes, telling me it cannot find the music....that makes sense since it is no longer on the external hard drive.
Now, is there a fast, more stream lined way to update all of these songs so I do not have to drag and drop them back into the playlists or double click to find the songs?
Just thought I would ask......

160GB of music stored on your OS drive in your iMacG5 is really gonna slow things down. you should keep it on the external, or get a bigger external drive.

It is already pretty slow on an external drive (with my old PowerMac G4), but I have since bought a new drive to transfer all the songs over to, so in either case....got any advice?
