[QUOTE="Cdnalsi, post: 1000904, member: 43107"] Hey there, congrats on your purchase! All you need to do is click iTunes in the top menu and select Preferences. Click on the Advanced tab and UNCHECK the little "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library" checkbox: [IMG]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/5986/screenshot20100215at233.png[/IMG] Notice that mine is checked, which means everything I add to my iTunes library will be copied onto my Macbook Pro's internal HDD-- which in fact is NOT what you want to do. So all you have to do is uncheck that little box and then you can freely add music from your external HDD by selecting File > Add to Library and iTunes will not make a copy, instead, the music will be accessed from your external HDD. Hope this helps. Cheers! Edit: whoops, looks like Doug b beat me to it :) [/QUOTE]
