How do I backup a very large music library?

I have about 3TB of music files on 2 external hard drives. A lot of this music is live recordings (obtained legally) which are not available commercially.  I feel like I am at risk with no backup solution, but I have not been able to find a suitable solution.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

This method deleted the huge "Other" file, but of course results in a long term issue of re-loading the ipod w/a large original file. On a external drive, I have my itunes music folder and other music in MP3/CD formats. I've tried to load these songs to the ipod, but it seems to want to place them in the "Other" file and not music. I have been manually loading these songs from the external drive and sliding them right into the music library on the itunes page. Is this the right to do this?

    This article should help. You didn't mention what format the files are in and what format the external hard drive is, however this article povides the basics. You're probably most interested in the last section titled 'Adding content on your computer to iTunes'.

  • I used to have a large music library on I Tunes but I somehow overwrote it with the few purchased items that were on my I-pod so I have lost everything apart from these few.  Can I retrieve a previous library even if I've somehow lost it?

  • RE: freezing and resetting problems when syncing a large music library

    Hi there,
    I got a new ipod classic 160gb for christmas. I updated the firmware to 1.0.3 and synced it for the first time. When I tried to play any music it locked up and went into a loop of resetting itself which I could only break by forcing the ipod into disk mode.
    I restored the ipod and tried again syncing the music in chunks. This worked until the ipod was about 50% full then it started to freeze and reset again. I took this ipod back to the store but the new one had the exact same problem!
    Through a lot of trial and error I have managed to get the ipod working with only part of my library synced. By syncing music a few albums at a time I have managed to get about 86gb (of 120gb) onto it, but surely this is not how it is supposed to be! I have a dual boot system and have the same problems using windows XP or vista.
    I know that I'm not the only person experiencing resetting problems with the ipod classic. Are the users who are experiencing these endless resetting problems with the ipod classic those who have large music libraries (i.e over 80gb)? Can the ipod classic simply not handle the large volumes of music it was designed to hold?
    The only features I was looking forward to in the new ipod were a) larger capacity hard drive and b) the ability to organise playlists into folders on the ipod for easier browsing. As it stands I cannot sync my full library and navigating through my playlists is so slow it is hardly worth bothering. I never had a minutes trouble with my 5th gen.
    Have I been unlucky and the ipod classics I have recieved have been duds? In which case should I arrange another replacement? Or is this typical of the ipod classic user experience when the user has a large music library and many playlists? Should I await a firmware update that might remedy my problems?
    Lastly am I doing something wrong? Any help or workarounds would be gratefully appreciated.

    best thing to do is use Playlist and Smart Playliss to fill your iPod. Just so you know, since your post seemed to indicate you thought the playlists have to be tailored to what is already on the iPod, when you sync to playlists, any songs needed for those playlists are automatically moved onto the iPod. And any songs NOT in the playlists get removed.

  • I recently had a catastrophic hard drive failure and had to replace it.  At the time, I had a VERY extensive music library and it is now lost. This entire library was also on iTunes. Is it possible to recover that library, or do I have to download again?

    If your hard drive was not backed up then you can download items purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Did you subscribe to iTunes Match service?  If you did, your other music would be available too.
    Note, this restores the music files themselves, not playlists, playcount, ratings, or other things associated with the actual library file structure.
    You really should consider getting a backup drive. Hard drives failures are a certainty and it saves a lot of grief.

    In iOS 7 how did I search songs in my music library?

    How stupid is this design?!  Unless you happen to be positioned the top of the displayed list (song, artist, album, etc.) there's no way you'd find the search (aka, spotlight) option.
    Why not put the option in a non-scrollable area of the screen, so it's always visible?
    As iOS 'evolves', it's interface seems to be becoming less intuitive. Sad.

    How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • Making backup copy of my music library

    what's the most efficient way of making a backup copy of my music library? i have a rather extensive library and i want to use as little cds as possible. also, i'm not interested in being able to play the cds on other cd players, i just want a backup copy.

    I use an external HD. I had an iMac crash, and fortunately had my iTunes library on an iPod. I used a third party utility to restore the songs from the iPod to the computer, so no harm was done. I plan on using a fire-wire external HD as a backup in the future, however.

  • I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad.  Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How to play large music Library in shuffle play on iPad

    I collect music and have a large library, very large, I have to constantly look for tracks to delete when I sync my two 160GB iPod classics, which hold around 18,350 songs currently. Using iTunes match on 64GB iPad and 32GB iPhone, which are at 20,628 songs and 20,572 songs respectively, including most of the deleted tracks which are still on iTunes match, although I'm not sure why the numbers are different. At least three fourths of the tracks are iTunes downloads, the majority of the rest are from my CD and vinyl library and can't be found at iTunes. Because of the size of the library, I do look for songs to delete from the library whenever I synch new music mad as you might have guessed, I buy a lot of music - all the charted Billboard records and emphasis album tracks, and then some, such as 12 inch mixes and various variations and have most of the records listed in the various Joel Whitburn Billboard reference books for Pop, R&B, Country, Dance, Rock, and basically all the formats and genres that compose the bulk of the tracks on the Hot 100.
    What I would like to do is use the iPad in the same fashion as the iPods, which is usually shuffle play. It does work, but a lot of songs seem to me greyed out, basically anything that isn't an iTunes purchase is checked to be marked directly to the iPads storage, and the rest is in iTunes match. If I rent the 50GB available at iCloud, and I really probably need two such accounts, can I get tracks to play in shuffle play automatically from the cloud, along with my locally synced tracks, or does each have to be downloaded individually, which would defeat the whole purpose of shuffle play? Also, for some reason, when these tracks are played in shuffle there are very few tracks greyed out, and it does what I want, while with the wireless data plan many more tracks are greyed out. Also, does the system automatically choose different tracks to be greyed out each time i connect to wireless, or is the same every time? I really need a 512GB iPad, or at the absolute minimum a 256GB one.
    Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.
