I want to copy an iTunes installation between two machines - or rather I want the new installation to have the same files, playlists and ratings as the current one. Short of syncing with an iPod, what files would I need to copy?


Many thanks.

hi mate
i recently did this on my machine that i boot xp pro, vista basic 32 and vista HP 64

basically i just put all my music into the itunes folder with a seperate folder for playlists and saved all those into there

copied it to my external drive and then once in vista basic [itunes doesnt work in 64] i went to add a folder in itunes and added the folder i made off my external drive

you could do the same and that way you get your full library

depending on your access to an external drive

otherwise i suggest syncing your ipod and then manually managing it on the new pc until all the files and playlists have gone accross
 
does it?
awsome - will get on that when i get home tonight!!!
get rid of home basic and xp in one go then!!!
