Splitting ITunes Music Storage

Okay everyone. I am a mobile DJ, meaning I have a whole lot of music. I have 160 gig hard drive on my macbook, and I just can not store all my music on just my computer.
Here is what I would like to do. I have a few external hard drives. I have a 320, that backs up my computer with TimeMachine. I also have a 1 Terabyte external. I have purchased another hard drive from a DJ company that went under, and it has about 60,000 songs on it. My ultimate goal is to do this.
I want to have the new 60,000 songs, plus about 15,000 of mine on the 1 terabyte external hard drive. I would like to keep the remainder (about 4,000) songs, on my computer's hard drive. These 4,000 are songs I would like to be able to have with me every where I go (school, home, etc...) and then simply plug in the external when I go to a gig, and presto, I have my other 75,000 songs ready to go.
What would be the best, and safest way to do this?

assuming the 60000 tunes are not yet in your iTunes library
• go iTunes > preferences > advanced and uncheck +copy files to ... when adding to library+
• drag the folder containing the 60000 song into an open iTunes window or use the +add to library+ command from the file menu and navigate to the folder on the external.
iTunes will index the path to the location of those files but not add them physically
• be sure you go back to preferences > advanced and re-check the +copy files to+ ... option.
as for the 15000 tracks (assuming they are currently located on your startup disk)
• select (highlight) the 15000 tracks in iTunes
• use [this|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2010/09/new-re-locate-selected> script to relocate the selection to the external and remove the original files from your startup disk.

  • ITunes music storage capacity does not match

    I am using iTunes in Windows 7. iTunes version is 11.4.0.18
    In iTunes, the status bar in music, it says capacity is 36 GB.
    When I go into my computer and check the iTunes music library from there, it says capacity is 126GB.
    Why is there a discrepancy? How much space does the music really take up?

    As far as I'm aware, the Status Bar in iTunes tells you the storage size of the music selected in the viewing window. It is not the "capacity" of anything.
    Therefore, if your viewing window (in iTunes) is showing one Genre (for example) rather than the complete Library, then you will get two different readings. In the screenshot below, you can see the Status Bar in iTunes, and the Properties window of my Music folder in My Computer over the top of it:
    The reason for the difference is that the Status Bar is showing only what is in one part of my Library, a part that I have selected. In this case, all songs on Compilation albums:
    However, if I now check the Status Bar for everything in my music Library, there is still a difference:
    The first thing to note here is that the Music folder that I'm checking has several sub-folders inside it. Not everything in those sub-folders is music.
    What precisely is your concern?

  • ITunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

    My itunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music, what should I do to combine them? I would like all my iTunes stuff to be in one, organized, location.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
    Somehow it seems you've also managed to get both an iTunes Music and an iTunes Media folder. I'd recommend you make sure the media folder preference is set to iTunes Media before you continue...
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
    1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is greyed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it. NB This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards. If space is at a premium try my scripts Unconsolidated to find out what would need moving and ConsolidatebyMoving to move rather than copy it.
    3. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
    5. (Optional) Close iTunes, rename the folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename. (Not relevant in this instance).  
    6. (Optional - Windows only) If Windows Media Player has ever had access to your files it may have liberally scattered folder artwork files about which iTunes won't tidy up when it reorganizes things, thus leaving behind a heap of folders with artwork and no media. I've written a script for cleaning this mess up called CleanDeadArt.
    PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then edit the file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.

  • How can I Migrate/Split itunes/icloud account for a large family now that they have family sharing

    Ok, now that Apple has finally come out with family sharing I need to get things sorted out and I think it is going to be a mess. I have 6 family members (my spouse and 4 children) all sharing/using one itunes account. For parental reasons this made perfect sense. Now with the the advent of family sharing and such we have alot of sorting and migrating to do and I am very unsure how to go about it. Here is what we have.
    Myself - I have a 64GB iPad 3 and a 64GB iPhone 5
    Spouse - 64GB iPhone 5
    Children - x4 16GB iPhone 5C (pink, blue, green, and a yellow)
    We have had one itunes account now for several years, we used to have x4 16GB iphone 4's and a 16GB iPod touch 4 so we needed it to be shared at the time. We all have different Game Center ID's and Facetime/iMessages are all setup to the phone numbers (aside from mine which also uses the itunes e-mail). We currently have 1 upgraded icloud account with 200GB of storage on it (love the new tiers). So here are the questions.
    1) How do I go about using and isolating all the devices so they can all use the iCloud storage? Right now if I try and setup backups by device under the what to backup there is no simple "Full Backup" option, they have all the categories separated. I cannot backup my daughters contacts without forcing a merging of them and so on. Same thing with Documents and Data. Would I need to setup a different iCloud account for each device now?
    2) iTunes Music/App purchases. Now that they have a family sharing function I am assuming it would be a good time to separate all the devices (aside from my personal iPad/iPhone). If I understand correctly we need to setup a new itunes account for each and link them with family sharing, does this then allow us to disperse/move items from a singular to the multiple account (at least a one time option to move around) or would it simply be shared off the original account? My daughter for example will be 18 next summer and as such no longer under our care. How do we move her items to her account? She has a lot of purchased Music. Now keep in mind I am talking about an account for someone who was 12 when she had her first device and as such needed to be under her parents.
    I just want to state that repurchasing things is NOT an option, and to be frank,  according to Canadian laws pertaining to *licensing* we actually own the product if we paid for it and have the right to transfer the ownership thereof. This issue went through the courts regarding used copies of OEM editions of Microsoft Windows several years ago and they closed the legal *license* vs ownership separation.

    Go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in and select to the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right.  At the present time you may not be able to enter the correct birth date, but others have had success changing the year to 2000, or the date to 1/1/2001, both of which will have child ID status.

  • ITunes Music Folder organization

    Hey. I have all my albums stored in a My Music folder, some are labelled fully (Artist - Album) as the folder name, while others are simply the artist, the album or what have you. As I load new albums onto my computer, I just do a manual "add folder to iTunes" each time. I checked both Keep ITunes Music Folder Organized and Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder when Adding, and it prompts me to copy all the files over. I've tried this a few times, using My Music as the folder, and other locations, but it only ever copies like, ten of my three-hundred odd albums.. I want it to copy ALL my music and organize it accordingly, but it won't.. What gives?

    Hi Jen, welcome to discussions
    iTunes always manages the music folder in that way (\[artistname]\[albumname]\[title]).
    To keep it from splitting up your albums with several different artist, check "part of a compilation" in the info tab (right-click->get info). Now those albums will appear in one folder (\compilations\[albumname]\[title])

  • I just want itunes music and database to be on external HD not internal

    What am I doing wrong. I have itunes music library on my external HD and my itunes preferences say that my itunes music folder location is just that. It's about 41 GB. Ok, but why on my system drive is there an itunes folder in the default user music folder and it is 7 GB and there are certain titles in there that did not make it to the external. The database files are in there as well. Shouldn't everything be located in the external itunes music folder including the database files ? How do I have itunes automatically update the external HD folder and put the database files in there as well and stop using the internal system drive for storage and database.

    I did that a while ago. But now it seems there are 7 GB of stray files. Is there a sync feature that moves only the itunes files that are outside the designated itunes folder, in my case they are living on the system drive for some reason...

  • Going from xp to windows 7 64 bit using an external drive for music storage

    Greetings Techies!
    I hope you all are well.
    I need to move my iTunes from an XP machine to Windows 7 64 bit. On the XP machine I am using an external drive for music storage and the iTunes database is stored on the internal drive. I am looking for advice on how to transfer all of this over to my new Windows 7 64 bit machine. I know iTunes can be picky about everything and I don’t want to take and chances and loose my playlists or music.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Blessings,
    paul

    You are right about it being picky. I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and was forced to format my drive. I had all the music backed up, but when I imported it, I have 2 or 3 copies of some songs, art work missing, and have lost my playlists. I hope someone responds to your question, because I could use similar help! Best of luck to ya . . .

  • ITunes Music files taking too much space???

    In my innocence, I had imagined that the storage requirements of iTunes would match those of my iPod. The iTunes programme now tells me that I have 6,694 songs in my library, using 46.43 GB of space. However, my iTunes Music directory boasts 10,278 files and occupies 75.7 GB of space, which is a real problem for me. Whence the discrepancy? When I delete files from iTunes I send them to the Recycle bin. So, what are these extra 2,600 files which occupy 35 GB of space that I cannot afford.
    Help, please.

    Thank you for the sensible suggestions, ed. However, it is specifically, and only, my iTunes Music folder that shows 75.7 GB; and that does not include music files stored elsewhere. Is it possible that when iTunes imports a file it stores it simultaneously both in AAC and in its original format? That would seem pointless and wasteful. As for deletion, the question is to the point and all I can say with certainty at this stage is that, when I delete a track, I click the button for deletion; so, it seems to me, these files OUGHT to be deleted. So, I remain bewildered. And irritated. And, unless someone comes up with an easier solution, shall gear myself up to go through those thousands of files individually...

  • How do I transfer my itunes music library to my new computer

    How do I transfer my itunes music library to my new computer (not a mac owner)?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Corrupted Music storage

    My iPod Touch 5th gen (64GB) is about 2 years old now and I'm having problems with music storage. I think its probably due to the usual wear and tear, but anyways, my issue is that when I try to adds songs onto my iPod to my existing songs on it (Like I have 4700 songs onto it and I'm adding an additional 12 tracks), the existing songs disappear on my iPod and it shows up as Others in the storage on iTunes. I've ran diagnostics and factory reset my device on several occasions and the problems constantly reappears. What else can I do?
    Thanks in advance for reading my post.
    Also, when I go to Manage Storage in the settings, none of the missing storage for my songs shows up.

    - Try another cable.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Try another USB port

  • Old folders still in iTunes Music Folder

    I have iTunes set to automatically create file/folder names, but since the update (I can't remember the exact one) which changed how storage was determined (i.e. it's now by Album Artist rather than Artist), I've noticed that empty folders have been left behind. For example, I previously had the files for the album +Band On The Run+ (obviously in a folder of the same name) stored as a sub-directory of Paul McCartney. Now, due to albums being listed by Album Artist, that folder is empty and a folder was created for Paul McCartney & Wings, in which +Band On The Run+ was placed. I don't mind the albums being filed by Album Artist (although if there's a way to overide this I'd be interested), I just want to know the proper way of dealing with the empty folders in the iTunes Music Folder. Surely I can't just manually delete them as it would be picked up by and cause errors in iTunes.

    I have a similar problem, but in particular with podcasts. When I delete a podcast, even if I tell it to move the files to the trash, I often find old podcasts in my podcast folder. And as for those old empty folders, do I really have to go through and manually delete them, or is there some shortcut I can use?

  • Some Dowloaded music that is in Itunes Music Folder Does not appear in Itun

    I downloaded about a dozen songs from itunes yesterday. Four out of twelve songs do not appear in itunes.
    I checked and these four missing songs are in my purchase history, these songs are in my itunes music directory on my windows xp computer and I have the most recent version of itunes?
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    My music is not there.  It is, however, showing up on my main (MAC) HD, not my external drive.  I think that I might have deleted the external drive copy instead of the local HD copy when I was trying to open up disk space.
    Is there a way to scan the MAC HD aside from spotlight?  When I look under about this mac->storage, I see that all 64GB of music remains on my main HD, but when I run searches in the finder for MP3, MP4, or by band name, I cannot find anything.

  • How do I play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match (my music is stored in the cloud).

    How do i play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match? I don't want to download my music to my iPad.

    But that's what I don't want to do. I think I must have misunderstood what was possible with iTunes Match and the cloud. I had thought I would be able to play my music directly from the cloud using WiFi. I didn't think I would have to download it from the cloud to play it on my iPad. I store it in the cloud because I don't have enough storage space on my iPad -- I can't download all my music because I run out of storage space. If iTunes Match doesn't allow you to play the music FROM THE CLOUD, but instead only allows you to DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE CLOUD TO YOUR IPAD TO PLAY, then it's not serving the purpose I thought it would. What's the point of storing it in the cloud if you have to download it to play it?
    The only way I could imagine it working for me is if it possible to only download particular albums or songs. Or does your whole library have to be downloaded? 

  • HT201269 Lost iTunes music?

    A while back I had to do a reset on my iPhone 4. When I did this I lost all my purchased iTunes music. All of the songs were purchased through my iPhone and never transferred to my computer. At the time, I only had 8g of memory and no storage left on my phone so I was never too concerned with putting the music back on it, I just used pandora when I wanted to listen to music. I have since purchased an iPhone 5 and now that I have more storage I would like my music back. I tried going into iTunes and searching for the songs thinking maybe I would just have to re-install the same way I would if I deleted an app and wanted it back, but all it sasy is "purchased" and gives me no option to re-load the song to my device. It doesn't even give me the option to purchase again. Anyone have a solution for this?
    Thanks!!!

  • Lost iTunes music thru pc crash

    is there a way to get already purchased iTunes music back (free of charge of course) after a crash which forced me to completely restore my pc, losing all my files?

    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
    You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.
