I've always been very happy with iTunes with over 270gb of music on C:\Users\Palladio\Music on my PC HDD and another 100gb of films stored on an external drive.
All the music is stored and managed manually and then I use 'add folder or file' to import it into iTunes. Exception being anything I buy on iTunes. The Films I rip and then use Handbrake. These are stored on the external HDD and I drag and drop them into iTunes. There are obviously quite a few Apps for the iPhone, iPad etc. as well. (Not sure where these are stored to be honest )
'Keep iTunes media folder organised' and 'copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library' in the advanced tab are both unchecked.
I will shortly be running out of room for my music folder on 'C' and want to move it to one of the external HDD.
I've done a bit of Googling for this and I'm starting to get a wee bit concerned it will not be as easy as I thought.
Can some of you bright soles out there give me some advice as to the best and easiest way of achieving this. It can't really be that difficult can it......
I do monthly Windows PC backups and also a bi-monthly backup of all the music onto another external HDD which I store elsewhere. I do get a bit paranoid about all the hard work I put into tagging and artwork etc on the music files over the years and don't want to lose any of it. Plus of course the syncing with the various iPods, iphone,iPad and ATV.
(PC with Vista and various external HDD. iTunes 10, iPhone, Apple TV, iPad, iPod and two iPod touches.)
