Answer 2

If you already have wmp on your c drive just copy all media files to the external hardrive.

Answer 3

just move all your music onto an external HDD and play music normally

Answer 4

you don't want to 'run' media player from the external drive  - you want to relocate your music files to the external drive.

how you do that depends on your version of windows.  on vista, you click on Start, then RIGHT click on My Music and choose Properties.  then go to the Location tab, and click Move.  browse to the external hard drive.  it will move the store location for your music files to the external drive, and your media player will look there for the music from now on.
