moving playlists

[Michael Vicente]

Try this.

 From the internal drive, move your iTunes Music Library file and the 
iTunes Music Library.xml file to the Desktop. Make an alias of those 
files from your library on the external hard drive to the internal 
drive. When you open iTunes, you should see the external drive. When 
you want the internal preferences, swap the files again.

If you're proficient with Applescript, I'm sure you could write a 
script to do it automatically.
