Check your duplicates. The artwork shouldn't double the amount of space. iTunes likely copied your music folder to the external, which already held the backup files.

Be patient. You may end up with duplicates, but you'll have everything in one place. It's good to have a second drive for backup. I've got about 750GB of music in my computer library and thoroughly enjoy the convenience. Feel free to shoot me an e...
