A handy feature of iTunes is the ability to use more than one iTunes library.  This comes in handy if several family members share the same computer.

I personally store my entire iTunes library on an external USB drive and using this feature, I can access my library from any computer.  In the case of an external drive, you will need to make sure to copy an updated version of your iTunes library to the drive.

To Create a New iTunes Library

1. Hold down the Option (or Alt) key on your keyboard.
2. Click the iTunes icon.
3. Click the “Create Library” button from the dialog box that appears.
4. Navigate to the folder where you wish to save your new library file.
5. Click Save

To Switch to Another iTunes Library

1. Hold down the Option (or Alt) key on your keyboard.
2. Click the iTunes icon.
3. Click the “Choose Library” button from the dialog box that appears.
4. Navigate to the folder where the iTunes Library file is located.
5. Click Open.
