Should work. I just took a look at the XML file and I think you could just do a find and replace if you wanted to change the drive letter.
There is a line for each itunes item that specifies its location
Code:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Users/Mark/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Podcasts/Calgarypuck%20Radio/Calgarypuck%20Radio_%20Regular%20season%20st.mp3</string>
if you found each instance of :
Code:
//localhost/C:/Users/Mark/Music
and replaced it with
Code:
//localhost/E:/Music
it should work, but it is not something I have ever tested. I am sure someone here will chime in either way.
Either way if you backup a copy of the library file, worst case scenario you can restore your old setup.
