Is your primary drive filling up? Nothing frees space faster than moving your music/media library to an external or second internal drive. First, close any media playing software. In XP, open My Documents and drag the My Music folder to the external drive. Windows will figure out that you’re moving a special folder and will change its own settings accordingly.
In Vista, click Start, right-click Music, and then select Properties. Click the Location tab. Change the path to a folder on your new hard drive and click OK. If Windows asks whether you want to create a new folder, click Yes. When Windows inquires whether you want to move all of the files, click Yes again.
If you use Windows Media Player, open it after the move and press F3. Select the new Music folder and let the application search for files.
