Don't look to me for help. Sorry. :( I know next to nothing about itunes, :confused: and I'm happy to keep it that way. :D I think I've downloaded about three tracks from there.

Now if you'd used Media Monkey............................................ ....................................

Errrrr, I think he wants to move it from one machine to the other. ;) Presumably, you shift the mp3's first, then catalogue them once they've arrived? :confused: :confused:

Your library is in my documents, my music, iTunes.

Just copy onto a hard drive and transfer across, or use something like dropbox depending on the size of your library.

Really helpful. :p

just copy library in documents as suggested. It will also copy the playlists.

stick it in the same folder on the other laptop.

Excuse me pal!!! I'm doing my :Censored: best here. :D :D :D :D The blind leading the blind. :o :o :o

Were it me doing this, I'd bin itunes, catalogue it all with Media Monkey, copy it onto a portable hd, and duplicate it on the second lappy. Simples.

Edit: Actually, Steve's link suggests essentially the same method. ;) :D Just not with MM.

If you're having trouble then get Media Monkey and you can pretty much play all formats on it. Best £30 I ever spent

A sentiment echoed by pretty much all the folk I've recommended it to, though I seem to remember only spending £15.

Might be stating the bloody obvious..... but you have installed iTunes in the new computer, haven't you?

Alternatively

If its for back up I have used an ipod. put it on and use ipod rip to put it back should your laptop die (or transfer to new machine) :)

Its really easy takes ten mins:
