Have Two HDs - I want Music on One HD & my Videos/Movies on the other HD.

I actually have a slightly similar question that I was hoping I could help with. I currently keep all my music on a macbook but have many dvd's that i would much rather watch on my tv, so converted those into itunes friendly formats and have them on an external hard-drive. I want to keep my music on the laptop itself and keep all of the movies on the external drive, but be able to have everything in itunes so i can use front row and watch them on my connected tv (and still maintain all of the album art, movie art, etc). the closest thing i could find is a tutorial on transferring itunes data (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/48) to a new drive that discusses the idea of referenced files as opposed to content files and mentions the use of the consolidate library feature to keep them all in one "library" even if they are files that are referenced off a different location. the problem is that it also says its a one-shot thing that can't be reveresed (and since i've put a lot of effort into organizing my 11gb of music, i don't fancy the idea of losing it all when i attempt consolidate reference files of the movies... even though everything is backed up with the ipod and can be transferred with senuti). anyone try this method or know how to do this step-by-step? so we're not playing around with this as we do it?

Turn off Copy files to iTunes Music Folder in preferences and Keep Music folder Organized.

Put the music and movies where you want them.

Load them into iTunes.

With external drives, make certain they are always connected before starting iTunes.

Should work.
