iPod Largest iTunes library

Around 1TB total for movies, music, and TV shows. I just removed a little under 90gb's of movies yesterday when doing a bit of "spring cleaning" on my Mac.
 
large library issues

i'm only at 600gbs and counting but every time i try to import itunes freaks out, its running super sluggish, anyone else have issues? its stored on a 3tb external 7200rpm through usb 3.0, 2.3 quadcore mac mini 16gigs ram osx 10.8.3

Where are the itunes library itl and xml files stored is it on your computer or the hard drive?

I followed iLounge's article and had no issues. Have a read.

They were located on the comp and the media was located on the external, moved everything over though and its running a little quicker but still taking a few minutes to import a few songs. Thanks, i'll take a read, i'm compressing the media folder now so i can back it up on a different HD case things start going south But I may just rebuild the library.


On a similar topic if I create 2 libraries, one to hold all of my sons movies (which would free up my library a 100+ gigs) I understand that i have to choose which library to open from at start but how would that effect the AppleTV if he where to be watching a movie from the computer sharing app via the apple tv any way i can access my library to play music?

Thanks
 
I don't know how can I see my iTunes specs regarding media, but I have 770 songs, 2 ibooks, 30 ringtones and 1113 apps.
 
Sorry, I think this is all pointless unless you paid for the stuff legally. I have under 3,000 songs ALAC all from ripped CDs at about 64GB and already it's full of fat I just "collect" and don't listen to.

Because if you paid $100,000 for all that the joke's on you.

People spend millions to buy paintings that look like they were done by semi-talented baboons, just because the artist is famous.

I spend far less on my entertainment and enjoy every minute of it.
 
I'm sitting at 16,568 songs which take up 85.74 GB. That should be growing at least 25% soon as I am making a push to rip the rest of the CDs I wish to keep.

I don't have much in the way of movies or TV shows.
