How to transfer itunes libraries?

I just got an iMac and i already had a macbook with all my music on it. I used time machine and backed up my macbook. How do i transfer my itunes library (playcounts and all) to my new imac?


Also what is the best way to keep my imac and my macbook itunes libraries in sync. To the point where it doesnt matter which on i am on i can access the same stuff, current playcounts and all?

Connect the two computers using an ethernet cable ( 3x faster than wifi)



System Preferences, Sharing - turn on file sharing on both machines.


Using finder


Copy the Music/iTunes folder not the iTunes Media Folder to the music folder on the new mac
