so ive had a ipod for many years but ive always used a third party program to manage it, now im finally using itunes. So i just added my music folder from my external to my itunes library, and wanted to know if it was possible to have itunes update and sync that folder anytime a new file gets added or a file gets deleted so i dont have to go and manually add it to the library?
ok here u go: Open iTunes Click on Edit---Preferences---Advanced---- Place A Check Mark on "Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library" I hope this helps
im not sure this will help, i want to be able to update my music folder on my external, and for itunes to manually add any new songs i add to the library, without me having to do add file or add folder to library
Ok so let me get this straight, ur music library is on ur external drive & every time u add music to iTunes u want it to be added on ur external only, right??? So in that case do what i told u to do in the previous response and under the same page (Advanced Tab) change ur default 'iTunes Music Folder location to the one on your external hdd' But any adding/deleting of songs will have to be done from iTunes library, thats the only way so u cant delete anything from the folder manually.
