Simple ? iTunes Question


Following an external HD failure I am reloading iTunes from a back-up HD. Problem is as I re-enter the album back to iTunes it is loading the music into my iMac. I want the music to stay in the external HD and just play from there. My internal HD GB available count is dropping faster than a speeding bullet.

What am I doing wrong? iTunes settings?

Well, I was able to move the library per your suggestions BUT much of the music remains sitting in my internal HD as well as in my external HD. I tried deleting an album in the internal HD but as soon as I pull the same album up again in the external HD it downloads it back into the internal HD so I don't need the external HD on to play the music. Before that was impossible.
Sfar: Yes, I w as wondering about that myself thank you for that advice. I shudder to think what will happen if I try to install a fresh copy of OSX. LOL!
How did you get the new copy of the OSX onto a clean hard drive? Following your original advice I did get iTunes to recognize my backup HD but now I am spending endless days and nights erasing duplicates on many of the albums. It is starting to reduce the load on the internal HD.

Thanks again for taking the time! I appreciate it very much.
Wow Sfar! I had no idea that this feature even existed. I am almost blind from deleting dupes so Yes, I will give that a try.

Once again, thanks for all your help.
Sfar - just a follow up. I downloaded Dupin Lite and it worked like a charm. The available space on both the External HD and the internal HD increased substantially. Thanks for the info!
