The easiest way would have been to just copy over the entire iTunes folder. Did you do that? You may also want to delete all the songs and then do this and start over...

Or, if you just got the songs files over, on your computer copy the remaining files you didn't copy over to her computer.

I hate to sound like an idiot, but if you copy over the iTunes folder (which contains a library file and database file IIRC), this will also copy over the playlists as well? I'm confused!

could you simply "copy & paste" the 2 library files from the old computer to the new computer with the same result (i.e. copy over the playlists), assuming you already have the music files on the new computer?

I'm not 100% sure, but you should be able to.
