Mr Macfixit had mentioned on a previous question of mine...
COPY your itunes library over to the new drive. Launch iTunes while holding down the option key. This should cause iTunes to ask if you want to create a new library or use an existing one. Choose existing, and browse to your external and the library you copied.
This, apparently, only works in iTunes 7 and above.
A similar shortcut works for iPhoto as well.
After moving the libraries to an external hard drive, what is the best method for clearing the old iTunes and iPhoto library of the original hard drive? Should one delete the whole folder? Should one open upo the folder and just delete the contents?
Thanks for any input.

does the newer version write over the older version?
Would I be better off deleting the old version program by program before installing the new stuff?
Thanks for any info...
