    this is how i've been using itunes for years, never had any issues:

    turn off itunes file management.

    turn off itunes copy files to library.

    leave your library in the default user/ home location. just the core itdb files and podcast mp3swill be stored here.

    drag and drop all your mp3's from your preferred location (other drive, folder, external, whatever) straight into the itunes library.

    easy. managing 420GB of music like this. no complaints whatsoever.

    if my playlists or library gets royally fucked for some reason, i know exactly where my mp3 files are, and i just empty the library within itunes and dump it all back in. you might lose playcount info and rating crap but who cares.

    • oh and this also allows me to have access to mp3s stored in multiple locations...horton
    • ie. all my "incoming" mp3s are on a different DLs dedicated disk.horton
