[iTunes] Re:Multiple libraries on different disks

[Ken Stevens]

I have two libraries on separate drives, one for music and one for  
podcasts.  The podcasts library in on an external drive.  To switch  
between the two
I hold down the option key when launching iTunes and that gives me the  
option of choosing which library.  The podcast library has its own  
music folder
on the external drive.  This should work for you, try creating a new  
library and choose to put it on the external drive.  Now you can only  
use one
library at a time but you can have two libraries on separate drives.
