Before you add the songs/videos to your iTunes library, set the press to not have iTunes organize your library.

Re: [CGUYS] non-iPod MP3 player for Mac
Mason Miller Before you add the songs/videos to your iTunes library, set the press to not have iTunes organize your library. Most (?all?) of the content is coming in through the use of CD's. I don't like the way the CD's were ripped on the PC so I'm redoing them all.

You can even have multiple iTunes libraries (for the multiple iPods you should own). Start iTunes with the option key depressed and you can switch iTunes libraries or create a new one. There is a lot of flexibility about what gets stored where, but I have not had a need to play with these features. Today I see the Apple Online Store is offering an external 500 GB USB2 drive for $140.

[CGUYS] non-iPod MP3 player for Mac
I'm looking for an MP3 player for a Mac that isn't an iPod. I know that a lot of people think iPod are the bee's knees - I have slightly different needs. I have a Mac laptop with a 120GB hard drive, currently I have ~10GB of of tunes. I have ~15GB of free space - I still haven't ripped/loaded the other 30GB of tunes. Hmmm, I haven't mentioned video, video is lots bigger. My plan is to keep most/all of the music/video on external drives (multiple copies at multiple locations) - most of the video is already there. My understanding is that iTunes wants all of the stuff for the iPod on the computer all of the time. Is that understanding correct? I mainly want to listen to music/podcasts and not watch videos. I suppose videos on trips would be nice, but that would be added benefit not a requirement. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly C code.
