Hi.
My 40gb Powerbook is filling up with my itunes library so I'm about to buy an external hard drive. When I do this I'll put my itunes library (approx 20gb) on it to free up the Powerbooks Hard Drive. Although i've not done this before I'm led to believe it's pretty straight forward to redirect the library to pick up the music from the ext. HD (but please tell me if I'm mistaken!).
Here's my problem though:
Whilst I'll happily download and rip any future music onto my main library on the Ext. HD I'd like to keep a core selection of about 3gb of songs on my powerbook(but also have them on the Ext HD) so that I always have some music wherever I go. Is this possible?! Maybe there are scripts I could run (but i don't know too much about scripts either) so that I can have 2 separate librarys or rather a complete library on the Ext HD and some selections from it on my laptop.
Many apologies for the bracket overload!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
