Windows Forum / Windows XP / Music / July 2006music libraries to external hard drive
Helllllp! A total idiot when it comes to anything computer(actually with several ex-wives I should re-think that statement) I have quite a lot of music on my machine, half of the 80G drive!, and thought it would be a good idea to transfer this onto an external drive, bigger, and leaving the machine happier! BUT! How do I transfer Realplayer (10.5 I think) and mediaplayer over? Am I thinking along the right lines, or do I dump the whole lot over? And in plain English -as I mentioned. I'm a little stupid! Thanks David > Helllllp! > A total idiot when it comes to anything computer(actually with several [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Thanks > David No comment :-; Why do you want to transfer them over ? If the idea is to take the external HD and use it on other PC's then as long as they already have WMP (a certainty) and Realplayer (maybe) you just need to point them in the direction of your external HD and they'll play the music concerned. Cheers, Jerry Thanx Jerry It's the music files I need to move I guess, not so much for portability, but to free up space on the computer, keep all my music in one place, and identify it all too! david > > Helllllp! > > A total idiot when it comes to anything computer(actually with several [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Cheers, > Jerry Leave RealPlayer, WMP, WinAmp wherever they are on your harddrive. They do not take too much space. Where your problem is, is the music files (probably MP3, WMA or Wav). Transfer the music files to a USB external harddrive they will play when you click on them using your favorite app whichever one you like then you can delete them from your harddrive. Most of my friends copy their music files to CD-Rs, but that is up to you.

Select all the files in your library and choose "Move files..." |
