Folks, this might be a simple query, but I thought Id ask anyway!!

Basically, my entire iTunes Library is stored in my "Music" folder within "My Documents". Now, what Im hoping to do is relocate all of the files onto an external hard-drive (in the event that something happens to the PC).

If I were to just copy these over to the external HD, Im sure my "Library" would throw a hissy fit cos it cant find the tracks.

Is there an easy way to transfer all the files over so that the "Library" knows where everything is??

Problem is - there are over 10,000 tracks (songs alone) and to have to go through them individually to tell the Library where they now are would take a bit of time!!

Thanks for the help!!
