Using I-Tunes from a portable hard drive
I have an I-mac and keep my I-Tunes music on a portable hard drive. When I want to create a play list, I am still loading the music back to my hard drive! Is there a solution whereby I don't duplicate the music and "clog" my hard drive?

A playlist id just a collection of 'pointers' to the original files.
How do you know they are being copied to your iMac hard disk?
