[iTunes] Where is iTunes stored?

[bert.bates]

Through some weird chain of events my iTunes library has been split,  
and now resides on two different hard drives... it's easy enough to  
move the music so that it's all back in one place, but how do you  
rebuild the indexes to reflect the re-integration?

Thanks!

Bert
