Q: Exported Library
We have a new computer, and I don't want to take up the memory with a large music library. I want to export my library to an external hard drive and then build it from there. Question is when I download music from the cloud will it go to that new exported library if i have that library as the one iTunes looks for when it opens? And can I direct my iPod to sync with that new library when I designate a new library for it?
iMac, iOS 9.3.2

See Make a split library portable for some general background. If the library still exists on your old computer and is in the standard layout you can simply copy it to an external drive, then connect that drive to the new computer and option-start-iTunes to connect to it. Being the same library iTunes will sync as if nothing has changed.
