iTunes external hard drive

As long as the drive is mounted to your OS properly, and your iTunes library has it mapped properly it will work correctly.
This is how I have it at home as well. Works fine.

Cheers; have changed the path and now consolidating - once this is finished can I just delete folder from pc? Does this move all in media folder ( even ones that are in the folder but aren't visible in my iTunes library ?)

I moved all my itunes music to an external HD. (USB2)
BUT I do get lots of beach balls and the play lists need time to catch up when scrolling since I made the move.
Itunes is a lot slower than when it was on my internal drive.

And I forgot about the CPU spikes.
Overall I am not 100% happy with the move but my internal storage just could not cope.

I don't have this problem at all. Mine is pretty straight forward.
I'm using a Mac, are you on Windows by chance?
