Q: changing music library from broken external to a second external
My itunes library is(was?) housed in an Iomega external drive. It's on the fritz...dunno what's up. I back that drive up every couple of weeks to another external drive...a Seagate. Not the library per se, but all the band folders. So, all the songs (except those since my last backup) that are in my screwed-up Iomega are also in my Seagate # 2 external.
If I go into iTunes preferences now, it says my iTunes media folder location is : /Users/xxxxx/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
If I recall correctly, it said it was in the Iomega when the Iomega was functioning.
I have a feeling this isn't as simple as changing the iTunes media folder location in iTunes preferences to the Seagate drive.
Will iTunes magically recognize all my songs and from that point forward will all new songs go to the Seagate?
In the Seagate, songs are are housed in an "iTunes Media" folder. If I recall correctly, that was the name of the Iomega folder, too.
