[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 724346, member: 59143"] Problem. In that I'm starting from scratch (nothing in existing iTunes library), do I have to manually copy the files from the external HD unto its self ? I find this so confusing. What I did was, when opening iTunes, I held down alt, and created an iTunes library on my external HD in the music folder. I then tried to consolidate, but nothing happened at all. I changed the directory three times yet none of the times was able to yield any results. What am I doing wrong here ? Again, there are ZERO files on my Mac HD or in the iTunes library right now, only on my external drive. Do I have to drag and drop my music folders from there directly into the iTunes playlist or something ? I thought this would be easier. Doug [/QUOTE]
