Are you able to have 2 different Itunes libraries?

Can you have 2 iTunes libraries on one computer?

  • Is it possible to have 2 iTunes libraries on one computer? We keep music on an external hard drive. Can there be 2 libraries?

  • Answer:

    Yeah, but it's a little complicated, and it only work with iTunes 7. What you have to do is: 1. Open iTunes and open everything you want in the first library 2. Close iTunes and find "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunesMusic Library.xml." (default location is My Documents\My Music\iTunes) 3. Move (cut and paste) those 2 files to a folder you're going to remember. Make a folder like "iTunes Libraries" and make 2 sub folders like "Library 1" and "Library 2" 4. Open up iTunes (you're library is going to be empty) and open everything you want to be in the second library 5. Close iTunes and repeat steps 2 and 3, having each library in its respective folder. Then, while you're double clicking the iTunes icon to open it, hold down Shift (Windows) or Option (Mac) until a box pops up, select "Choose Library" and navigate to and open the library (iTunes Library.itl- Steps 2, 3, and 5) you want to use- It should be in the sub folders you created. Good Luck!

Mojo Seeker Of Knowlege

yes there can. You can download Itunes one time and install it to your external hard drive. Then you can download itunes a second time and this time install it on your computers regular hard drive and you will have 2 itunes. I dont know how it would work when you plug an ipod into your computer, my guess is both programs would start up and you'd just have to exit out of one.
