Hoping there is. Way on iMac to do this...getting ready to switch from PC to Mac and on my PC I have a dedicated drive with only music that iTunes is not connected to. Like having my music separate from iTunes since most of it was not dl from there
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
yes you can, but you will have to format the drive to have it work on the mac, so you will have to purchase a new ext. drive and format it before hand then transfer your files over.
Sweet. Yeah I already bought a drive for Mac..since I'm still waiting for my new iMac to arrive, just wanting to make sure since I did not keep my music in iTunes before always used Winamp for PC..
when your mac arrives, and you still dont want to use itunes to store your music or play them for you, you can use a standalone player such as vox;
Great thank you, so when I do this would I still use the migration assistant and just direct it to put the music on that drive only, and all my other crud on the main drive...I'm so terrible excited yet nervous looooooong time PC user
yes that will work well. good luck with your new mac.
Great!! Thanks so much, you were a great help and I'll be back with something else I'm sure..lol
yes, there are loads of good knowledgable folk here who will be only too willing to help you with any questions you may have. welcome.
Can you have an external drive with only music and not have it tied to iTunes
