Trying to write data to HDD instead of SSD

On my new computer build I have the OS and primary programs loaded on a 64GB SSD, and everything else on a 500GB HDD, including iTunes. Unfortunately, when I download music or any other data, it's writing it to the SSD, and that's not really what I wanted it to do.

What do I need to do to get it to write (iTunes specifically...) to the HDD? I understand when I download a program I can designate which drive to write to, but I thought by putting iTunes on the HDD, it would write (download songs) to the HDD...

You need to relocate your iTunes Library to your data drive. Mine lives on my "D" drive, and any new purchased or ripped music goes there. The iTunes app, however, still lives on my C: (SSD) drive. Follow these steps and you should be good to go:
