Moving my iTunes library

I am going to turn on vile vault on my powerbook, but my iTunes library is in my home directory. I am planning on just doing a mv itunes/ / or something like that.

How do I tell iTunes that I moved it - it is just as simple changing it in the options?

Thanks

Open iTunes Preferences.

Click the "Advanced" Tab (the gear).

There should be something in there regarding which folder iTunes should use to store music. You can change it to wherever you want.

That was really vague, but I'll double check on my lunch break...
