Easy. Drag the folder with all the music onto the external, then redirect iTunes to look at the new location. It will probably bring up a box asking you to do that when you fire it up, as it won't be able to find any music where it expects to.

Moved all my iTunes libary over to the external but iTunes doesn't seem to pick up from the new location. Any suggestions? Thanks.
