Is your C drive full after loading all your music/movies into iTunes?
Do you want to move it to an external hard-drive or to a new location on a different drive(say D:)? Here is a way to move the iTunes music folder from MyDocuments > MyMusic > iTunes to a new location while retaining all your play-lists, ratings, and play history.
Make sure that the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option is checked in iTunes Preferences:
1. Open iTunes application by double clicking into the icon.
2. From the Edit menu at the top, click on Preferences.
3. Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window.
4. Select the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" check-box.
5. Click OK to save.
6. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences again.
7. Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window.
8. Click the Change button in the iTunes Music folder location pane.
9. In the Change Music Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new Music folder to be created.
10. Click the Make New Folder button in the Change Music Folder Location window.
11. Enter the name of the new iTunes Music folder.
12. Click OK in the Change Music Folder Location window. Click OK in the Advanced window.
13. Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library (iTunes 8 or later) or choose Advanced > Consolidate Library (iTunes 7 or below).
14. A message will pop up, click Consolidate.
15. After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and you can trash it/delete it.
16. Empty the Recycle Bin.
That's it. Now every-time you import songs to your iTunes, they will not get saved to C > MyMusic, but to your new location.
