iTunes disc full!! help!

So my computer has been sending me a lot of messages that my computer memory is full. This happened before but I just deleted a LOT of stuff in my iTunes and it was fixed for a while. Now I'm getting that message plus another one that pops up in iTunes saying "The iTunes music library cannot be saved. The disc you are attempting to use is full. Please delete some files to fix the problem." How can I fix this problem without having to delete anything? Please help me!!

In Preferences/Advaanced point itunes to your external hard drive. Then click Advanced from the main menu bar at the top and choose Consolidate Library. iTunes will copy all music files to the folder you selected. Then you can delete the old files because iTunes doesn't know they are there.

the error mesage means that you do not have enough space on your hard drive for the songs you are trying to save.

The easiest solution is to get an external hard drive and save your songs to that

Which Mac do you have? How big is your internal hard drive? How much free space does it have available? Are there other things on the drive, non iTunes stuff, that you no longer need and can be deleted such as old applications you downloaded to try but never have used? Do you have large documents and files you no longer need very often that can be archived off to CDRs and then removed from your hard drive?

I'm getting the same two warnings and I have an 100 GB external hard drive that I thought I was using to keep all of my iTunes songs. (22.54 GB worth).
I went into my Hard Drive and erased one song.
Then went to iTunes and got the exclamation point next to it. The original file could not be found.
I really don't want to erase thousands of songs to get my Mac running more quickly, especially after buying an external HD.
Can anyone tell me how to fix my situation?
Many thanks in advance
