    Hi,

    apologies if this seems quite obvious - all help appreciated.

    My iTunes collection is stored on my work PC (boss fine with that, thankfully), broadband connection, all works perfect. It is, however, taking up a large amount of space on the PC. As I cant get internet / broadband at home (rural living), is it possible to do the following:

    1) Purchase an external hardrive
    2) Transfer my iTunes library directly onto this and clear the work PC
    OR
    3) Load iTunes software onto external hardrive and re-add music again from scratch (yikes) using the connection at work
    4) In theory I should then be able to access my iTunes library via my laptop at home and just bring the external drive to work when I need to upload new tunes.

    Would this work? Any links to good websites for external harddrives, pricing? All help appreciated, thanks.
