Jun 20, 2012 8:35 AM in response to jenbisby laundry bleach,No, you can copy your music folder to an external hard drive. Once you have moved it, launch iTunes while holding down the option key on your keyboard. A dialog box will come up asking you where the library is that you want to use. Select the library on your external hard drive.
Once you have confirmed that this works, you can delete the iTunes library on your internal hard drive. Remember to empty the Trash after you put the folder in there.
Note that if you disconnect your MacBook from the external hard drive (a possibility - it is a portable computer after all) you will not have access to that music.
Syncing your iPod should go as normal.
Best of luck.
