    Hey all!!
    I dont know if this is a topic for here but I'll give it a shot?!:D I have this laptop for over three years now....its running Vista and itunes...sadly!:( I've been DJing for the last year and never used the laptop at work but I load all my music too it to sync my Ipod and keep the files backed up! Now the hard drive is within 800mb of being full and Im confused as to what I'll do?!:o I have an external hard drive and I'm wondering can I transfer all the files to it and still use it to sync my Ipod??
    When I download tracks I add them to my music folder.....then add the folder to iTunes and as far as I know I end up with 2 files, the original and the iTunes file! Are there any programs, maybe Winamp that just keep the 1 original file because I think iTunes is keeping both files!!:o
    Any help appreciated!

    Yeah, you're correct, you have two copies of every track.

    Winamp is no use, Apple force you to use iTunes:rolleyes:

    What you can do is download, then import the tracks, them move the downloaded file to another drive, iTunes keeps its copy in its program folder.
