iTunes library on USB harddrive and Time capsule

Hi,

I'm sure this has been covered before but I can't find the answer. I have my iTunes library on a USB harddrive. It used to be connected the whole time and worked great.

I recently erased and installed Leopard on my computer and bought a time capsule. The usb harddrive is attached to the capsule and iTunes is a blank slate. How do I move my library back into iTunes but keep the files on the now wireless usb harddrive?

If its not too much trouble I'd like to move the library into a new folder on the harddrive as well!

Thanks for any help,

Barry
