I have a question though: do these libraries have their own settings, with wich I mean: can one give 2 libraries a different location? I'm running out of hard disk space on my 110GB macbook, and was thinking of using a external HD for my iTunes library. But since I use my external HD for backups, I don't want to carry it around all the time with the risk of losing it. Thanks for the tip!
