Switching between several iTunes libraries



I wanted to distribute my mp3 collection over several drives, which is not well supported by iTunes. The article Switch between two iTunes Libraries describes an approach how to set this up, but this is a bit too complicated. Here is my approach.

I create a few directories on different disks to hold the libraries, e.g.

mkdir /Volumes/Disk1/Music/Classical
mkdir /Volumes/Disk2/Music/Popular

I create symbolic links to these directories from my ~/Music directory:

ln -s /Volumes/Disk1/Music/Classical ~/Music
ln -s /Volumes/Disk2/Music/Popular ~/Music

These are just to have a handy reference to the various library locations.

If there is an existing ~/Music/iTunes directory, remove it or move it to a different location.

Then to switch I keep a terminal window open in which I first switch to the Music directory:

cd ~/Music

and then, after possibly quitting a currently running iTunes, type either

ln -fhs Classical iTunes

or

ln -fhs Popular iTunes

and restart iTunes.
