TuneSpan Lets You Store Parts of Your iTunes Library on External Storage to Save Disk Space
If you don't want to manage multiple music libraries and would rather just have one, but your
iTunes is eating up precious disk space, TuneSpan can migrate your excess media to external
drives while still keeping it accessible within iTunes. This way you can move music you don't
listen to very often to an external drive and just plug it in when you want to access the files.

Take Control of Your iTunes Library with TuneSpan
TuneSpan has really been a key application, and will continue to be, in my disk space management.
The bulk of my drive space is occupied by media so managing that a little more intelligently makes all
sorts of sense. I will say that I'm actually enjoying the restriction the Air disk space puts on my computing
world. I'm more thoughtful as to what I install and what I save. It's resulted in a much more tidy machine
and the minimalist in me loves that. On the flip side I do want to have, maintain, and sometimes access all
sorts of digital media that I just wouldn't have the disk space for on the local drive. TuneSpan allows me to
manage all of that content in a simple, smart way, while still keeping it all very accessible.
