I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have a 500Mhz iMac and I'd like to get the most speed as I can out of Jaguar. I've heard that a fresh install would be best. First off - if I do that will I lose OS 9.2 that I have installed on my system? I definately want to keep the full version (not just "Classic") on my machine for now.
Next question...I realize I'll lose all my OS X programs and stuff...I'm OK with that. I can re-install them.
But, the one thing I really don't want to lose is all my music files. They're all imported into iTunes. My OS X and OS 9 iTunes Libraries do NOT currently share the same files (I've never figured out how to get that to work).
My question is - where I can stash the actual mp3s themselves on my system so Jaguar won't erase them? And how can I also save my Library file so that when I re-import all those saved mp3s iTunes won't have forgotten all the custom naming I did (like to correct the Artist, album, etc). I don't really need my Playlists but I'd hate to have to correct all those filenames again.
Any ideas???
