[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1557249, member: 112842"] Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure of the steps to take to do this more efficiently, and some things are a little confusing. I have the following library files in Home/Music/iTunes: iTunes Library 328 KB iTunes Library Extras.itdb 132 KB iTunes Library Genius.itdb 32 KB iTunes Music Library.xml 2 MB But the iTunes Music folder, where all the individual files are, is 11.55 GB I'm not sure what else to move to the external drive, other than all those files. Then I'm not sure what else to delete from the hard drive. I'm ok with a global transfer* to the external drive, just not a global delete on the hard drive to free up the space, which is my ultimate goal. As I said above, there are some that I want to keep on the hard drive. I'm waiting until I have other things recorded to go with some already recorded music on a series of CDs. If I delete things in iTunes first, will the files in iTunes Music be deleted also? Maybe there's a good "how to" on Apple's web site, but I didn't find it. *I've already done a manual copy, but would be interested in learning the global method. [/QUOTE]
