Itunes Query!!!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to know is there any other way of me keeping my music on itunes without having to make my main computer really slow. I have alot of albums and I thought that there could be a way of fixing the problem because I still want to be able to sync all my music when I plug in my ipod.

  • you could get an external harddrive and have that as your music library.

    If you have a 120Gb or 160Gb iPod, and you put all your music into iTunes by ripping CDs, then until you get a hard drive larger than this, you'll never be able to fill your iPod.

    I resorted to keeping mp3s on an external drive, but iTunes has a terrible tendency to forget where the external music is stored.

    Also, if the music is on an external drive, you can't Sync, Play, Edit Info or do anything with these tunes unless the external drive is connected.

    ITunes doesn't slow down your computer. You've got other issues.
