[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1816796, member: 131855"] You are correct Jake, when iTunes is dtarted without the external drive conaining the music/media, it will indeed go to the default location in a user's media folder. You won't notice anything wrong until try to play a file that's on the external drive. It has been a while since I had this problem but I think iTunes puts an exclamation symbol next to the track. I had a quick and dirty script once to check for the media drive, mount it, and launch iTunes. Haven't used it in a while. I'll try to modify it a bit when I have a moment so it's not looking for my Time Capsule and post it of you're interested. Might not get that done for a day or two though. [/QUOTE]
