So I know how to move the entire iTunes Music library, but does anyone have an idea how to move just the Movies folder within iTunes to another drive? I hate that Apple puts the movies in with the music and I want to have those files on an external drive while keeping all the music on my main drive. I don't think an alias will work. I'm assuming a symbolic link will do it, but is there another way I'm missing? I could manually move the files, but then I have to individually reset the file location in iTunes. And I don't want to have to movie files every time I download a new movie.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm afraid that's going to be your only option. Once you change the directory that your movies download to, you shouldn't have to change it again.
