Please help with iTunes on External Hard Drive!

[kmarketing]

Hi,

I copied the music that was on my macbook pro onto an external hard drive. I want the mac mini to be able to use the hard drive as its itunes library without storing the music on the mac mini hard drive. But I want the playlists from the macbook pro to be the same for the mini, except the music being on a separate drive.

I've been trying myself, and doing searches but I haven't gotten anywhere!

Can you please help me with that?
Thanks so much in advance!!

The playlist and playcount info is stored in the following two files:

/Users/~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
/Users/~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library

Make sure to copy them over to the Mac Minis /Users/~/Music/iTunes folder and set the music location to the external hard drive:
