[QUOTE="twr7cx, post: 1158675, member: 177839"] I assume your refering to Step 4: "Once you have Itunes pointed to your external hard drive this is where it gets a little tricky. Normally most people would think that you drag and drop your music to your external hard drive and Itunes would recognize it, but that is not the case. If you do it that way you run the risk of not being able to play the music or Itunes will make duplicates of all your data. The best way to do it is to point Itunes to that external hard drive and then open up Itunes and drag your complete library into Itunes and not your external. Trust me I spent hours ripping my hair out to get almost a terabytes worth of data to not duplicate and play.

It doesn't seem to transfer over my playlists etc. [/QUOTE]
