yes. no matter folder have itunes pointing to, can 1 of 2 things in order have media spread across several hard drives.

option 1 unchecking copying of files library on adding them (preferences > advanced > uncheck box) add whatever feel library, no matter located on network.

option 2 drag-and-drop (from finder itunes) whilst holding option (alt) key. override automatic copying specific files.

how collect media have on several drives/locations 1 itunes library.

, oh, should try using ivi or iflicks converting needs. might save hours _per film_.
