The only problem is, that some folks have about 40gigs of soundfiles 
and absolutely no space on their internal drive ... like me, i have 
only 10gb internal ....
i had the same problem with iphoto - the architecture of those programs 
is very well thought through, but for a small drive it is too much to 
handle ... i have about 6gb of photos ....
i found the solution to have more than one library in iphoto, this way 
i was able to open iphoto with one library only ...having 4 different 
libraries in total ....

i think i do the same with itunes =)
this way it just keeps more space available on the drive ...... why 
wouldn't you allow itunes/iphoto to organize a libraray on an external 
drive anyways?
