a recent itunes update (4.7?) fixed a long standing problem where if 
you stored your music in a folder other than the ~/Music/iTunes/ 
folder, say a firewire drive, then launch itunes with the firewire 
drive disconnected, itunes would reset it's own prefs to the 
~/Music/iTunes folder. now that doesn't happen...you simply plug in 
the drive and the pref 'sticks'.

i (and many of my clients) keep our huge music libraries on a 
firewire drive. this lets us move our music around (some people have 
beach houses, etc.).
