[G4] second drives questions...

[rich northouse]

Rich,

I am just an occasional user of itunes, so by far NOT an expert. But I 
remember some posts a while back (maybe six months ) where folks were 
loosing their files when doing what you suggest.  I think I would wait 
for some more info before you press that delete key. I don't remember 
all the details, but folks were loosing something when they did what 
you are proposing -- maybe it was a listing or sort index or itunes 
couldn't find the files or ???

But someone with more knowledge than me (that wouldn't take much?) will 
answer your question.  You may want to explore some of the archived 
posts.  Are you aware that in addition to the G4 list, there is also an 
itunes list!!  Those folks could help you too.
