Today I put together all the information needed to run a mobile Library from Apple iTunes on a USB stick or USB drive.今天，我放在一起所需要的所有信息，以运行一个流动图书馆，从苹果的iTunes在USB记忆棒或USB驱动器。 This method will run the entire iTunes application from the storage device, making it easy to manage iTunes libraries from a single location.这种方法将整个iTunes软件从存储设备，使其成为易于管理的iTunes图书馆从一个单一的位置。 I believe this is how iTunes should have be developed - as having a library specific for each computer is a frustrating way to enjoy your music.我相信这是如何的iTunes应该有发展-有一个具体的图书馆为每台计算机是一个令人沮丧的方式享受您的音乐。

What pushed me over the edge is my wife wanting to purchase music from iTunes at work and sync them up with the iTunes computer at home.是什么推我过去的优势是我的妻子要购买音乐从iTunes在工作和将它们同步与iTunes的电脑在家里。 Typically this is done by purchasing the music and downloading directly to the iPod, but she’sa CPA and travels from location to location for audits and doesn’t even use the same computer all the time - yet she loves her music.这通常是由购买和下载音乐直接到iPod ，但she'sa国泰航空及旅游地点为审计和甚至不使用同一台计算机，所有的时间-但她爱她的音乐。 The solution was to run iTunes from a USB flash drive to manage a single Library.解决的办法是运行的iTunes从一个USB闪存驱动器来管理一个单一的图书馆。

This tutorial includes installing iTunes on a flash drive, creating autorun files for auto-launching iTunes from the flash drive and how to set-up iTunes on different computers to run a music library from the single flash drive.本教程包括安装iTunes对闪存驱动器，自动运行，创造文件自动发射的iTunes从闪存驱动器，以及如何设立的iTunes在不同的计算机上运行的音乐资料库由单一闪存驱动器。 Of course this method also works for larger storage hard drives - basically anything that appears as a Mass Storage Device on your system.当然这种方法也为工程较大的存储硬盘驱动器-基本上任何显示为一个大容量存储设备在您的系统上。 If you are looking for a long term strategy for managing your iTunes music, I strongly recommend doing this process to an external hard drive that is, at least, 120GBs.如果您正在寻找一个长远的策略，管理您的iTunes音乐，我强烈建议做这个过程中，以外接式硬碟，就是，至少120gbs 。 So here we go:所以在这里，我们去：

Here is a quick summary so you know what we are getting into: 这里是一个快速简易程序，使你知道什么我们正在为：

• Create an autorun file for the USB drive创建一个自动运行的文件为USB驱动器
• Create a batch file to auto-launch iTunes from any computer创建一个批处理文件来自动发射的iTunes从任何一台计算机
• Install iTunes on the USB stick安装iTunes对USB随身碟
• Install iTunes on any computer to run from the USB drive安装iTunes在任何电脑上运行，从USB驱动器

It’s worth mentioning this does not get around the five license authorization for running iTunes purchased music, rather this is a method to manage your iTunes library from a single location for multiple computers. 它值得一提的，这并不让周围5许可授权运行的iTunes购买的音乐 ， 而这是一个方法来管理您的iTunes资料库，从一个单一地点为多台计算机上。

Creating the Autorun file: 创造Autorun的文件：

The autorun file tells the host computer what you want to do when the USB device is plugged into the computer.自动运行文件告诉主机电脑是什么，你想做的事时， USB设备插入到计算机。 This step creates a single click auto-launch for iTunes.这一步会生成一个单一的按自动发射的iTunes 。

Open Notepad and type the following:打开记事本，并键入以下内容：

[autorun] [自动]
icon=\iTunes.ico图标= \ itunes.ico
open=iTunes_mobile.bat开放= itunes_mobile.bat
action=Mobile iTunes行动=移动的iTunes
label=Mobile iTunes标签=移动的iTunes
shell\open\command=iTunes_mobile.bat蚬壳\开放\命令= itunes_mobile.bat
shell\open=Mobile iTunes蚬壳\开放=移动的iTunes

Save the Notepad document as ‘ Autorun.inf ‘保存记事本文件作为' 的Autorun.inf '

If you want a cool looking icon than pay attention to the first line ‘ icon=\iTunes.ico ‘ and place your ico file in the root of the USB drive (如果您想要冷静看图标，比注重第一线' 图标= \ itunes.ico '的地方，您的文件在保险公司条例的根源， USB驱动器（ get one here得到一个在这里 ). ） 。 If you don’t care, delete the line.如果你不小心，删除线。

Creating the Batch file: 创建批处理文件：

Next create the batch file needed to automatically run iTunes upon connection of the USB drive.明年创建批处理文件需要自动运行的iTunes后，连接USB驱动器。 Please note you need XP Service Pack 2 or Vista for the autorun feature to work.请注意，您需要XP Service Pack 2或Vista的AutoRun功能的工作。

Open Notepad and type the following:打开记事本，并键入以下内容：

set APPDATA=%~dp0Application Data设置应用程序数据= dp0application ％ 〜数据
if not exist “%~dp0Application Data” mkdir “%~dp0Application Dataset HOMEPATH=%~dp0Documents and Settings如果不存在“ ％ 〜 dp0application数据” mkdir “ ％ 〜 dp0application的DataSet homepath = ％ 〜 dp0documents和设置
if not exist “%~dp0Documents and Settings” mkdir “%~dp0Documents and Settingsset USERPROFILE=%~dp0如果不存在“ ％ 〜 dp0documents和设置” mkdir “ ％ 〜 dp0documents和settingsset下USERPROFILE = ％ 〜 dp0
set ALLUSERSPROFILE=%~dp0设置allusersprofile = ％ 〜 dp0
echo starting iTunes回声开始的iTunes
start \iTunes_programs\iTunes.exe开始\ itunes_programs \ itunes.exe

Save the file as ‘ iTunes_mobile.bat ‘将档案另存为' itunes_mobile.bat '
