Carrie,
Thanks for posting the instructions for moving your iTunes library to a hard drive. I was thinking this was exactly what I needed but then I read the comment at the bottom saying that you were sad you couldn’t JUST move your video files and keep your music on your internal hard drive. I’m here to tell you that you CAN do this. I have my computer set up so that my tv video files are located on my external hard drive, but all my music is on my internal hard drive. HOWEVER – I don’t know how they did this. I took my Macbook down to the Genius Bar at the Apple store about 6 months ago and they did it for me. I decided that the process was a bit complicated and that I would come back when I needed the help again. I’ve desperately got to get down there because I’m down to only about 1 G of space left! THIS time I’m going to write down the instructions so I can do it myself in the future. I’d love to email them to you when I get them, if you are interested – or take your computer and external hard drive down to your local Apple Store and they can help you do it. Just thought you might like to know!

This is a great tip. I bought an AppleTV just to listen to music in my living room. The external drive works great because I can jam that thing full of lossless music and rock out in my living room. Much better than any CD player.
