When you move where you store your Itunes library, it will import to the new location. I had to delete the first library then change the location. Then import the songs I wanted to Itunes. That reloaded everything on my ipod. There will be a reference file on you C drive still. I also choose the option of Itunes not duplicating the songs on the other drive.





I then backed all my songs to another exterior drive.
Reply:Maybe leave a copy there so it sees it is already there.
