Trying to move all my music from one computer to another, including all the library stuff, playlists, album artwork etc.

Basically, on my new pc I've copied the music over and set the location to it. I've then copied the old library to the new location, overwriting the existing library.

This doesn't seem to do anything, everytime I start itunes it creates a new library file and I'm left with two in the same location.

Also, where do album artwork, games, mobile apps etc go?

Help!

You couldn't move E:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes to C:\ and expect it to work.

Ah, this might be the problem then. The musics come from a mac to a pc so does the library file need to be edited to a new location or something?


EVH: holding alt does nothing when I start:(

That'll probably be the problem. I've never successfully managed to migrate my library from my PC to my mac or my mac to my PC.

From Mac to Macbook was fine, as was PC to PC/Laptop, but I've never managed it cross-platform.

Done some googling. Apparently you can edit the library file in a text editor and find and replace all the mac paths to windows paths.

Not gonna bother... Need to tidy up my playlists anyway:p
