[QUOTE="brentsax, post: 443068, member: 33211"] Well, it would be a pain, but I think it's possible for you to leave your current iTunes library on your MB as is and dump the other library onto an external drive. I think you would then just have to manually add the folder(s) containing the music on the external drive instead of pointing iTunes to that location as its default. And if you put all of the "music donation" in one folder (with many sub-folders) you'll only have to do the add folder to library thing once! The only downside to this is, of course, you won't be able to access the songs on the external drive if you don't lug it around w/ you. Edit: First, I guess it wouldn't be that much of a pain, hehe. Second, and I don't have experience w/ this, why not just put the iPod in disk mode to make copying the files to the external drive easier? [/QUOTE]
