Vista - Itunes - external hard drive

My employer has no problem letting me load Itunes onto the computers that I use in each state (Vista) but I am not permitted to load the cd's I have onto the computers. Can I load Itunes, then load the cd's on an external hard drive and use it as a traveling library in the places I go, and how do I go about using that. My Toshiba has 64bit Vista installed. I don't wan't to damage or lock up anything since Boss trusts me not to.

All help is greatly appreciated, and on by the way, suggest a dependable external hard drive please. You may reply safely to my work email, xxxxxx and put Vista / Itunes solution into the subject line.

Thank you everyone. Geoge

George, I have contacted our Hardware expert regarding the hard drive portion of your question.

I can't help you with the iTunes portion as I haven't used iTunes in about a decade, though I couldn't see why you wouldn't be able to put your cd's/music on an external and run it through iTunes.

As for externals, I really like the Western digital models, I have an Element, which has a WD "Green" drive in it. Though it's got an external power so as to be used as a portable, its not that great. THE passport drives are laptop drives, that don't need external power.

Hopefully someone can help on iTunes
