Using iTunes new multiple library feature (hold option during launch to choose a library or create a new one) I just maintain two libraries: one which includes everything and one which only includes the items stored internally. I don't download much from the iTunes Store (mainly just the free singles of the week once or twice a month) or rip new stuff very often but when I do need to free up some space I move older DRM free music from the internal drive to the external.
