I am a huge fan of GarageBand. I have been using it for a few years now, and have only one major gripe. I have purchased and installed four jam packs. This has taken up a large chunk of my hard drive space—nearly 17 gigs. I work on an iBook G4 which at its best has only 25 gigs of available space. I think with all the space that these packs take up, it is slowing my computer down when I run GarageBand on it. I know that with my iTunes Library, I can move it to an external hard drive, and that has been a big help. Is there any way that this can be done with these jam packs?
