Moving your iTunes library to a shared server

2 terabytes!!!? Why not just copy your entire hard drive? Sheesh.

You can tell iTunes where to look for its library. So you could merely copy that folder to a new location then designate it as your library under preferences.

This was what I needed. I verified it by going to the iTunes folder and renaming the iTunes Media folder once the 55GB of music was copied. I am able to reach it from the computers as well.

Nice!

Glad I could help.
