The iTunes music and media files are stored in a different location than the iTunes application. Because they are stored in different locations, you can uninstall the iTunes application without affecting your media files.
The iTunes media files are stored in the following locations:
About the iTunes Library files
Your two iTunes Library files keep track of what media you've added to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. These two files are in your iTunes folder by default:
- Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
- Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
- Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
- Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
