Use the external drive procedure from here. Just think of your New MAchine as an external drive.

Copy your itunes folder from your old machine


To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your external drive:

  1. Quit iTunes.
  2. Locate your external drive:
    Mac OS X: On the desktop
    Windows: In My Computer
  3. Locate your "iTunes" folder:
    • Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    • Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    • Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    • Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes

Copy this folder and Paste it in the same location on your new machine


This way content and playlists all come over
