So I've got all my music, neat and organized in my iTunes library. I have a bunch of extra recordings and music that remains unorganized and I don't want it to muck up my nice clean library. Is there a way to have two separate libraries that I can toggle between?

Quit iTunes.

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes. Select 'Create Library'. Name it as you wish.

Whenever you want to toggle between the 2 libraries, just restart iTunes in this manner and select 'Choose Library'.
