[G4] itunes question

[Snow White]

Actually you can direct itunes to import all music in its library or to 
just alias it and use it from where it exists now.  Look in the prefs 
of itunes.

Another solution is to change where itunes stores its library to where 
the library actually is.  This would mean that any changes (adds or 
deletions) from either itunes program (if you have 2 systems with both 
itunes pointed to the same library) would be in both itunes programs 
immediately.  No worry about keeping both updated and complete.
