Here is my situation. On my home PC I have about 100GB of music. I use my Macbook Pro ALL DAY at work and have it hooked up to Klipsch 2.1 Pro Audio speakers. I currently just hook up my iPod and listen to that on Shuffle all day. However, I'm quickly getting tired of the music on there and would like access to my 100GB+ from home. I went today to Best Buy and bought the 250GB Western Digital My Book for $99 and plan to move all my music from home onto it. My question and concern here is, when I hook up the My Book and double click a track to play, is it going to automatically import into my iTunes library on my Macbook? That is what I don't want.
If that is going to happen, what are my options? Can I run a copy of iTunes on the My Book hard drive and just play it from there through my Macbook? What can I do to accomplish my goal of listening to my 100GB+ collection of music without having it on my local hard drive on my Macbook?
