Hello,
I have an ever increasing itunes library on my lappy, and an unused 1TB external HDD.

Can I just drag-and-drop the itunes folder from its C: location onto the external jobby or is there something more sinister i need to do?

Sorry for a n00b question

Yes you can. If you want to keep all your playlists, settings etc. I would recomment carefully following these instructions:

It's worth it as it might save you lots of time later.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
