my music is already on an external drive
I already have my music on a 1T drive (LaCie), and switching over to using iTunes on my laptop as my desktop crashes all of the time. I cannot get iTunes on my laptop (MacBook Pro 2012, OSX 10.10.2) to build the library listings. I have specified the library on the external drive but am afraid to use the "Consolodate Library" function as I do not need to copy the files into a new iTunes folder. How do I get iTunes to rebuild a library listing on my laptop?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), iTunes
