Also, having all 10,000+ songs on the laptop twice would definitely use up a lot of space needed to be able to add new disks to.

However, you've given me an idea! I just purchased a "portable hd" that holds 250GB and is not only 1/4 the size of my external, but does not require electricity and simply plugs into the USB port. Guess I could just copy the old folders of KMAs onto it for Hoster to access in my Shows!

When I say copy, that is to copy them to new location and then remove/delete them from the old location on C: or if you copy from the External drive then you can keep that as a backup and still delete them from the C: drive. By renaming the 2nd internal (logical) drive (for discussion lets call it E the same as the external drive, then rebuild the database from E: drive only, not from both C: and E:, then your playlists will work without any modifications which is what you wanted.
