Hey there everybody. I have recently moved my itunes music library on to an external HD. I use itunes to compile my playlists by copying my selected MP3's in my external HD and pasting them in my new itunes playlist. NO worries so far.

Now when I open Scratch LIVE the songs in the Playlist that I have just created in i tunes cannot be found. Can anyone Help?

No I cant, I geuss because my itunes music library is on an external HD. Maybe i'll have to transfer it back to the the internal HD? Is there anyway to use SSL without involving i tunes?

You can add the external library to iTunes through the "set file location setting" It's under the advanced tab in preferences. Basically set it to the external drive but you have to have the folders named correctly. Also, the .xml file you must copy to keep playlists.
