you must, however, have all the mp3 files in a library. Go to file>library>add files and fine all the files. iTunes will copy them all from your hard drive to your mac. When it's finished, simply move the 'iTunes media' folder from the mac to the drive, and point iTunes to that drive. If you've already pointed itunes to a folder on this drive, no need to worry, just add the files, and they will be sorted.

Once you select the library in the finder browser, it will make that the default library To change it back to the previous library, follow the same process with the option key.

Hi all,Now that I don't have any delay while working on my Mac Mini (busy busy busy) it is fun to play with iTunes.I do have all my cd's in mp3 format on a external hard disk. Is it possible that I can tell iTunes that this location on my external hard disk is the location for the media files?When I enter this location within the Advanced settings of iTunes nothing happens.Tips are welcome.
