Separating iTunes purchases and CDs in music libraries

I'm trying to set up two separate Music Libraries, one with ONLY purchases from iTunes and one with ONLY CD's I've purchased. Can this be done?

Yes, if you want. See this guide: Use multiple libraries in Music on Mac - Apple Support


Make sure you are in library #1 when you buy a song (or want to play ones you have previously bought). Make sure you are in library #2 when you rip a CD (or play tracks that you have previously ripped). On an ongoing basis, you may find multiple libraries to be clumsy way to operate, but yes it can be done.
