TuneSpan Overview
What is TuneSpan? TuneSpan is an app that allows users to move and distribute media files in their iTunes Library across multiple drives. It helps users avoid the pitfalls of moving files manually and allows them to keep track of their media on all drives, whether they are connected or not. TuneSpan features automation and allows users to set up spans and restores to be executed on launch. The app can be used to free up space, re-organize media, and move older media to an external drive while keeping the default iTunes Media location the same. However, TuneSpan cannot span certain files, such as Mobile Apps, Rented Movies, Ring Tones, Text-Based Books, PDFs, iTunes LPs, and iTunes Extras.
1. TuneSpan helps you easily move the media files (Music, Movies, etc.) in your iTunes Library to multiple drives, avoiding the pitfalls of moving files manually.
2. TuneSpan lets you browse and keep track of media in your iTunes Library on all drives, whether they’re connected or not, and makes it clear to you what is and isn’t currently available to play in iTunes.
3. With TuneSpan you can easily move older media (or media you don’t listen to as much) to an external drive while keeping your default iTunes Media location the same.
4. TuneSpan offers a fast way to move gigabytes of files in your iTunes Library to free up space.
5. Unfortunately, TuneSpan can’t span files that aren’t included in the XML iTunes Library file.
6. By default, in the selected Span Location, TuneSpan will organize your files into folders just like iTunes.
7. TuneSpan allows you to browse and span the media in your iTunes Library.
8. To “span” your media means to distribute the files in your iTunes Library across multiple drives.
9. To choose the location to move your selected media to, click the Span Location area in the bottom middle of TuneSpan.
10. TuneSpan makes copies of your media files at the selected Span Location; your media files are never deleted automatically.
11. With TuneSpan, you can easily select a whole Media Type and move the files wherever you choose, while continually being able to see where the files are, move them around again, or restore them easily.

Costs So Little; Saves So Much Time
I wanted to move ONLY my movies to an external HD. At $15, TuneSpan was worth a chance, if only to ensure that I didn’t really screw up my iTunes library and files tyring to do it manually. TuneSpan works like a charm. The interface will be familar and if you read a couple of the help instructions, you’ll be up and running in a few mintues. I ran a test file to ensure I could perform the right steps and TuneSpan worked beautifully. Then, in a matter of ~90 minutes, I was able to relocate (span) all the movies (110 GB) to an external HD. Upon my instruction, TuneSpan also deleted the files on my internal HD, freeing up that valuable real estate. I’m NOT a tech guy but this product seems to work great. I have NOT tried or test all the built in features (like “Restore) but I will assume that they will all work fine or the Developer will help us. He seems to really be engaged in this product and I REALLY appreciate that.
A real life saver if you want to use an external disk
I have a fairly big Itunes library, around 150G, and don’t have space for it on my Pc. I’ve manually managed an external ITunes library in the past but found it a real pain, especially moving things around. So far I’ve used TuneSpan to move my external drive a couple of times, and have added more files a number of times. It seems really solid, I like the fact that you see each result and approve it before it is completed. I also like the way it works with iTunes rather than create another layer that could fail at some point. Quite happy.
Was skeptical, but it has streamlined my workflow
A short tutorial would have been nice, but once I got going, this is a great way to keep larger files off my MBP without resorting to multiple library files and manual file transfers and reassociating the media. I wish itunes allowed for mutiple file paths for each type of media, but as things stand and for keeping movies and tv shows on a small 2.5” external USB drive while still downloading new content to the internal SSD, this is a clean and useful application.
Can’t live without it!
My iTunes library had completely filled up a 3tb external drive. TrueSpan successfully moved almost 2tb of movies to a separate external drive. iTunes recognizes each location, and there are no issues playing my content. Unfortunately, iTunes still downloads movies to my “non-movie drive”; but a few short minutes with TrueSpan will move them to their proper drive.
