[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1557479, member: 24160"] All I do when moving my iTunes music and video to a new drive: Quit iTunes. Connect the new drive While holding the option key - open iTunes - it will ask you to select the Library file you want to use or create a new one - select create a new one Go to iTunes - Preferences - Advanced - change the location to the new drive and close Preferences Open Finder - navigate to the folder where all the music is stored - highlight all of it - drag it and drop it onto the iTunes icon in the Dock iTunes will then copy all of it to the new drive and organize and have your new library all set up when it's done Once it's done copying and you can verify everything is now in the new library - you can delete the old folder [/QUOTE]
