Do I need to keep my music on my HD?

Currently I keep all my music on my HD. But it's getting very tight for space. I have heard that burning them to DVD and then removing the songs from your HD, but not iTunes can cause problems. Is this true? or would I be better off playing safe and buying a secondary HD, either internal or external just for my Music.

OK, moving your music to an external drive is very simple if you have all your Music in your iTunes Music folder, which is the default arrangement.
Copy your iTunes folder to the external drive. This copies everything you need - library databses, artwork and you iTunes Muisc folder which in in the iTunes folder.
Next hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep the shift key held down. You should be prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
If you had some music files outside the iTunes Music folder you need to consolidate which will copy anything else off your internal drive into your iTunes Music folder.
It is important to have your drive plugged in and running whenever you start iTunes or it will revert to your internal drive. If this happens, it is easily fixed with a shif key start up.

    Yes, though if the drive is formatted as NTFS, Mac OS X will not be able to write to the drive without you either installing third-party NTFS drivers or reformatting the drive.

    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

  • I need help putting Classical Music CDs into iTunes

    I need help - this question has lots of subquestions, sorry.
    I have found just a few discussions that deal with this but I am still confused. Forgive me if I get wordy and misuse technical terms - I am trying to learn this thing...
    I'm an iPod newbie and haven't a clue on the best way to organize my many, many classical CDs that I'd like to put onto my iPod Classic 160G. I'd also like to do this with as little fussing around as possible since there are lots of CDs I've got to deal with.
    If each CD is a separate entry [album?] in the playlist and titled with composer name first [ex Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Titov conductor] I'll have several playlist entries with the same titles, but different contents. No problem really.
    But, should I separate it further, by having each concerto [say] be a separate entry in the playlist - without having to download the CD again. [I've just practiced on a few CDs but I imagine it being a problem if I had to download each CD several times - once for each work] Does it make sense to leave gaps between movements? [I'm not finding a way to remove gaps, though I have seen that suggested somewhere]
    And when I come to play the pieces, if I start playing a work in a playlist, will the iPod keep going from one movement to the next as it makes its way through the playlist - or will it stop at each movement and wait for me to tell it what to do next?
    Advanced Settings - are these the best? I'll be listening to music on an airplane using noise cancelling headphones and at destination attaching iPod to portable speakers to listen to music in hotel rooms.
    General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized - unchecked? [not sure what this means or does or doesn't do]
    Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library - checked?
    Importing: AAC encoder? High quality -128 kbps?
    Thanks for all your help - I know this is a multiple set of questions and perhaps should have been broken up...

    Thank you so much for your help. You have sorted out a lot of problems for me. I've tried to go through what you wrote, add some more info and I have asked a few more questions below-
    I re-ripped at 256. I too have the 160GB classic so it's good to know that it will take 10,000 tracks as lossless - now I have to re-rip again! I actually hadn't anticipated using the iPod with anything other than our high quality noise canceling airplane headphones, our cheap, portable travel speakers for hotel rooms and our Cambridge sound speakers for our cabin. It's that last set of speakers that makes me think I should follow you advice and go with lossless.
    QUESTION #1 - When I re-rip and do an automatic sync, will the tracks at 256 automatically be replaced by the bigger lossless ones with the same name or should I delete everything from the iPod and begin anew?
    "I create a playlist for each work, using a systematic naming convention..." What I did on my test was create a playlist for each composer breaking it down - ex- Bach:concertos, Bach:sonatas, etc. I have the Album column highlighted and it appears as if the movements stay together in the correct order. I fear that the task might be too large to create a playlist for each work, though that certainly is appealing.
    QUESTION #2 If the Album column is highlighted and the movements are in the correct order in iTunes in the playlist, will they stay that way in the iPod?
    "I tend to use just surnames for composers for example, or at least "surname, firstname"." I finally found in settings on the iPod the way to change sort by composer to last name, first name. In iTunes, the composer column which is imported from the internet search for info on the CDs gives composer with first name first and I can't find a place in iTunes to reverse this. Typing it or erasing the first name will be a huge chore.
    QUESTION #3 Is there a place in iTunes to change the order of the composers' name in the composer column?
    "For compilations etc I still create one for the whole CD or box set"
    I figured this out on my own before you corroborated my idea - I think I'm getting the hang of this...
    "The option iTunes has to "organise your music" is a good one"
    QUESTION #4 - are you referring to the preferences > advanced check box "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" ? If not, what are you referring to?
    "I have my library in its own dedicated disk. Wherever you put it, its important to then never change it or doing anything else with it: leave it for iTunes."
    QUESTION #5 "dedicated disk"? as in hard drive? I have been using SuperDuper to back up my Mac to an external HD; I plan to put a copy of the iTunes folder onto yet another HD where I keep copies of all our photos as well.
    "never change it"? I noticed a misspelling "Haendel" from the on-line CD/track info - no problem in fixing that - right? Since you later say you do change info, what is it you are never changing?
    QUESTION #6 - "Disk N of M capability" - what? Where do I find this option? And when you say "for multiple CD albums, don't include the cd number in the album name." Where? when you put the CD into a playlist entry? or just in the list of music in the album column - do you change the listing?
    ONE FINAL QUESTION - when I turn on the iPod when it's not attached to headphones or speakers, and I'm just looking at the screen to see settings or how the syncing worked, the iPod appears to begin playing something as soon as I turn it on. THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, but I can't find the answer, how to I get it to stop playing without turning the iPod itself off???
    "I hope that helps a little. " A little?? It helps a lot - and I'll award those points as soon as I get it all resolved.
    Thanks again,
    Mrs H

  • My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps?

    My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.

    Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
    The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
    Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
    BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll  copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

  • ITunes installed on a new drive with music on an old drive: how to keep the music data?

    I had iTunes installed on my old HDD with all my music on it. It was the drive C:\
    I just installed a new SSD (now the C:\ drive) in my computer. I also installed iTunes on it. I want to leave my music on my old HDD (now the G:\ drive). I can scan with iTunes for my music on my old G:\ drive, but that means I won't have the star ratings nor the play count...
    I tried to copy and paste the iTunes Library.xml from my old G:\ to my new C:\. When I opened iTunes, it had all my music and the data, but I had to locate manually every single song (in a 7000+ songs library, this is a bit of a problem).
    Is there a way to edit the iTunes_library.xml file to change the path of every song in it (from C:\ to G:\) since this seems to be the issue? Or how could I keep my music on my G:\ drive and itunes on my C:\ drive while keeping my music data?

    Hello papapavvv,
    Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on.  It sounds like you have your iTunes Library on your G:\ drive, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.  Follow these steps to point iTunes to your G:\ drive:
    Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    You should see the following screen:
    Additional information
    If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
    Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

    I was wondering if anyone could help with the following, in a perfect world i would love to be able to keep the music on my drive (there is about 500 gb worth) and then when i want to play through mac to apple tv be able to just plug into mac and then be good to go, or if poss for itunes to be able to recognise the music on my portable drive...and for me then to play through itunes without adding it (as there wouldnt be enough space)...and to also have the capability to plug the drive into my windows comp and be able to also still play from there.
    I dont know if any of this is poss...it all seems really complicated to me...and i am new to mac.
    If anyone thinks they could help please get in touch!

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Do not confuse (as you did) moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

  • Need to do a re-format, what do i need to keep?

    hi, I need to re-format my desk top computer and re-install my OS. I've got a big i-tunes library and have spent ages organising it and importing artwork so don't want to lose anything. All my music is stored on an external drive so won't be touched by the re-install.
    What I want to know is what files do I need to keep in order for my I-tunes to operate in the same way after the OS re-install?
    I presumed it would be the files in my c drive-> programme files -> I-tunes folder so did a dummy run by transfering these files to my laptop, and connecting my external drive and mapping it to the same letter. It didn't work.
    Have I missed some files?

    Copy the entire _*iTunes folder*_ in My Documents/My Music to the external.
    Then copy it back after you fromat.
    You can even keep it on the external and use it.
    Click the icon to launch iTunes then immediately press and hold Shift.
    iTunes will ask if you want to *Create new library* or *Use existing library*.
    Select *Use exisiting library* and select the *iTunes library.itl* file in the *iTunes folder* you copied to the external.

  • Do I need to keep a local copy?

    All of my music is on a single external drive.

    If you care about your data, yes you should. Redundant backup plans are what keeps data safe.

    It's not a true copy. Think if it as a mirror. For example I purchased the recently remastered early Rush albums on CD. There was one album in each box in 24-bit, 96 kHz which I have ripped and then converted to AAC @ 256 Kbps for the highest quality AAC track I can get. Now, most of these tracks were matched to tracks in the iTunes Store (which is fine since I'm going to be listening to them on my iPhone), but they are not the same tracks that are in my iTunes library. If I had a disaster I would not be able to restore the tracks I spent to much time on, I'd have to settle for the tracks I can get from the iTunes Store. For me this is not an optimal solution, which is why I keep local backups.
    If none of this is important to you, or if your other personal data is not important to you, then by all means don't backup. The choice is yours. But if you do not backup you will eventually lose data.

  • How to keep a music file playing across slides in Keynote '09

    Hi all,
    I've made an opening slide which has a 4 minute long music piece as it's first build. Now, after the 4-5 photos that drift in over the music, I want to change the slide and bring in the next few slides at timed transitions but I want to keep the music playing continuously over these all and end the presentation with the final slide over the end of the music. How do I do this?
    Thanks.

    Instead of having the song on the slide and using a build in for it, make the song the soundtrack. To make the song the soundtrack, add it in the Inspector>Document>Audio section. Then you can time out all your transitions and builds. The song will not fade out at the end, but you can add it to Garage Band and shorten it and fade it out if needed.

  • How to keep christmas music out of a genius mix?

    how to keep christmas music out of a genius mix?

    A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
    That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

  • Newby Question! Do I have keep my music on Itunes forever?

    OK - I just got my 30g Ipod yesterday and I spent 3 hours importing music and then deleted the music out of Itunes to save space on my computer. When I started to import more music, low and behold, it erased all my music on my Ipod from last night. If I have a 30g Ipod, will I have to leave 30g of music on my computer slowing it down forever? What do you suggest, I'm clueless. This is ridiculous. I did change the preferences to manually manage music but it said I will have "eject" my Ipod each time I disconnect, what does that mean.
    Help me please, I'm a total newby!
    Thank you

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
    Just a word (alright several!) about deleting the songs in iTunes.
    It is a very risky option. What if you needed to do a software restore (which is a very common fix for iPod problems)? This would erase the contents of your iPod. Any purchased music would be lost and need to be purchased again.
    What if the iPod were stolen/lost/needed repair?
    It’s much better to keep the music on your computer, and if storage space is at a premium, one option would be to buy an external hard drive, which are cheaper than ever nowadays, and keep your music library on that.
    The iPod is a music player and was never intended as a long term storage device for the only copy of your music.

    Sorry for the sermon, but we see a lot of folks weeping and wailing here that they lost all their music.

  • HT4859 If all devices are backed up on iCloud, do I still need to keep the files on my computer?

    If all devices are backed up on iCloud, do I still need to keep it on my computer? It takes up a lot of space.

    "iCloud Backup" is a little misleading.
    Apple says you get "unlimited free storage for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books" but then goes on to say "previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore". Therefore what you purchased is really not "backed up". Your "backup" is no more than your ability to download your purchases again, and that is nothing new. The content remains where it originated - on iTunes, if it's still available.
    Apple could easily change its mind and remove it, change it, or simply make it unavailable.
    Photos and videos in your camera roll are backed up, but photos and music that originated on your computer's iPhoto and iTunes Libraries are not.
    Your free 5 GB of iCloud storage is also used for iWork documents stored in iCloud, app data, all of which is lumped in with "Storage and Backup".
    Same thing for iTunes Match I'm afraid... iTunes Match does not back up your content and is therefore not a backup strategy. It finds a "match" in its vast library and permits you to access it. There have been a lot of complaints from purists who found their mono Beatles tracks were "matched" with stereo equivalents, "explicit" tracks matched with clean, etc.
    Contrast this with a traditional backup associated with iTunes syncing. In that case everything really is backed up to your computer - apps, purchases, music, videos, everything. 
    The bottom line is that iCloud is no substitute for one's own iTunes backup, and a backup / clone of the device containing it.
