I am sure others have libraries much bigger than mine, so here is my question:
What, in your opinion, is the best way to manage and store huge iTunes libraries? I am currently ripping all my CDs (hundreds of them) as ALAC files, not to mention my large video collection of movies and TV series.
So far, things are acceptable with my internal 1TB iMac drive, but iTunes will very soon start begging for more space. My library is backed up via TM and I do not use NAS or anything of the sort.
Should I just use a big external HD for that? A NAS solution? Anything else possible? Are externally-stored libraries subject to lags when being loaded?
Tks for your advice!
