I have a portable hard drive with my music collection stored on it. My question is how do I go about importing the music into iTunes without having to put it on disc first? Is this possible?
Assuming you have a pc (or mac)
Connect the portable to your pc
Run iTunes
Select,Edit > Preferences > Advanced
Check (tick) Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised
Check Copy Files ....etc (Unless you want to use the portable as your iTunes Media location)
Click ok
Select, File > Add Folder To Library
This will bring up a navigation box where you can select the folder(s) on your portable
Let iTunes do its thing
Depending on the size of your collection it may be quick but usually takes a while
