[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1816873, member: 131855"] I have had my iTunes library on external drives for some time now. At first it was because it wad going to take up a lot of territory on the notebook's hard drive (primary machine was a 2008 MacBook Pro). I don't know if your next machine is going to be a desktop or notebook, but either way it's probably a good idea to have your music/media on an external drive. Most computer manufacturers are installing flash memory / SSDs instead of traditional hard drives. These drives are great for speed and reliability but large capacity SSDs, which you need if you're keeping a large amount of media on the drive, can be expensive. New machines are also making it hard/impossible to replace/upgrade those drives easily. [/QUOTE]
