iTunes Songs on External Storage?

[logvkp]

Can you save your iTunes media on an external hard drive instead of on the internal storage of your Mac/PC? My Mac has very little storage

Yes you can store your iTunes media on an external drive instead of your internal drive.

Go to iTunes > preferences > advanced and from there it will allow you to change the location of your iTunes media folder.

Thanks. I really wish Apple increased their storage space, but alas, pomme est pomme

Depending of the model and year of your Mac you can increase the size or your HDD yourself by buying a new one.

You can also leave the media where it is and keep your iTunes library on the default drive. Just go to Preferences > Advanced and uncheck the two boxes as indicated. iTunes will still catalog the media, but won’t move it to the iTunes Media folder on your default drive.

I have over 9,000 songs, about 250 television shows and over 450 movies available through iTunes on my Mac Mini for streaming through the house to Apple TVs and iPads. Everything is stored on a network attached drive.
