Hello all,
Nearly my entire music collection is in .mp3 format on my external drive for safe keeping. If what I understand about iTunes is correct, it copies every song you add to the library onto your internal drive in a folder called iTunes Media Folder. I'm about to install a new SSD on my MacBook Pro, and I would like for the SSD to be used only for heavy apps and my external drive be used for photos, music, videos, etc. I'm afraid to do the usual "drag and drop" on my Pro because I don't want that extra space eaten up on the SSD. Is there a way I can specify that my iTunes songs are played directly from my external drive? I don't mind that it has to be plugged in all the time to be playing music.
Sorry if this is an obvious question! Thanks in advance!
