[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1645426, member: 131855"] You should be able to store the library on a Time Capsule. I've done it that way and have also done it on a hard drive attached to the USB port on the Time Capsule. Those Library xml files don't get opened directly. They are part of the data base that iTunes uses to track everything. Here's what I did to make things work: 1. The Library xml files are probably in your user folder inside the Music folder in a folder called iTunes. Leave them there. 2. Copy the media filed from their present location to the Time Capsule. 3. With the Time Capsule drive mounted in Finder launch iTunes and go to Preferences>Advanced and point iTunes to the new location for your media. Here's a more thorough description of the process. It says NAS drive but should work for the Time Capsule or external drive attached to the Time Capsule [url=http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/12/how-to-offload-your-itunes-library-to-a-nas/]How to offload your iTunes library to a NAS | Ars Technica[/url] [/QUOTE]
