Jump to: navigation, search

If you have a large iTunes Library or a small internal Hard Drive in your computer you may want to move some of your music to a different location on your machine.

The best way to do this is in iTunes itself.

  1. Open the iTunes Preferences (iTunes > Preferences)
  2. Go to the Advanced tab
  3. Change the iTunes Music Folder location
  4. Press OK
  5. Once it has finished processing go to the Advanced menu and choose Consolidate Library
  6. iTunes will copy all of your music to the new folder.

Note: this will change your music folder structure to the standard iTunes format.
