Migrating Ubuntu Music Library to an External Hard Drive?

Question

I have a very small internal hard drive, and I want to migrate my music library to an external hard drive. How would I do this?

Answer 1

This is rather easy, if you are using a music player that keeps a database, such as Banshee or Clementine.

All you need to do, is cut and paste your music to a folder on the external hard drive, then import it to your music player. Just make sure that your music player's preferences are set to not import files to your ~/Music folder.
