      <outline text="Creating a 2nd Mobile iTunes Library">
        <outline text="Listener Hagen wants to put all of his iTunes Music on an external HD connected to his notebook and then have a second smaller library locally for when he is on the road"/>
        <outline text="Migrating your internal Library to an external drive">
          <outline text="In iTunes preferences go to the advanced tab and set 'Keep iTunes Folder Organized'"/>
          <outline text="Choose Advanced--&gt;Consolidate Library"/>
          <outline text="Quit iTunes. In Finder Copy the Music --&gt; iTunes --&gt; iTunes Music folder to the external (leave the iTunes Library, iTunes Music Library.xml, etc)"/>
          <outline text="Launch iTunes and in the Preferences --&gt; Advanced --&gt; General tab change the iTunes Music Folder location to point at the music folder now on the external drive."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="The cool thing is now if the external drive is not connected iTunes will automatically default back to using the internal Music--&gt;iTunes--&gt;iTunes Music folder and switch back to the external when it is reconnected."/>
        <outline text=" We are half way there. The problem now is when you are disconnected you will see a bunch of broken link icons in iTunes, little &quot;i&quot;s. This is because your iTunes Library now points to files that don't exists."/>
        <outline text="Solution is to create a second iTunes library which you can now do in iTunes 7">
          <outline text="Launch iTunes while holding down the 'Option' key."/>
          <outline text="Choose &quot;Create Library...&quot; and give it a name, maybe iTunes Mobile. "/>
          <outline text="Now iTunes will open up and you will see you have a blank Library."/>
          <outline text="Quit iTunes."/>
          <outline text="In the Finder go to your new Music--&gt;iTunes Mobile folder and create a new iTunes Music folder"/>
          <outline text="Now copy all the Music you want to have on your laptop when not connected to the external into this new iTunes Music folder."/>
          <outline text="Now disconnect the external drive and launch iTunes"/>
          <outline text="Once it is open, drag the iTunes Music folder from the new iTunes Mobile Library into iTunes. this will update the 2nd Itunes Library will all the music that is now on the local drive."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="Now when you launch iTunes the first time when you are disconnected hold down the option key and select the &quot;iTunes Mobile&quot; library. When you return back home remember to hold the option key again and select the &quot;home&quot; library."/>
        <outline text="There are obvious downsides to this solution">
          <outline text="You are maintaining completely separate iTunes Libraries. One library doesn't know about the Music in the other. If you mix things up you can get broken links, etc."/>
          <outline text="Doesn't work well with Podcasts you subscribe to while mobile. Have to manually sync back any newly added music or purchases to the &quot;home&quot; library."/>
          <outline text="If you forget to re-connect to your &quot;home&quot; library when your external drive is connected then any new music will be added to the external drive and not be available when you go mobile again. Should be obvious as you would see a much smaller music library."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="This could work better if Apple would store the preferences for music location with the Library."/>
        <outline text="Of course a much easier solution would be to get a portable USB external drive and use that for iTunes Music, then just take the drive on the road too."/>
