iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Or...
From your OLD computer...

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
With your second option, are you able to retain your ratings, playcounts, playlists, etc?
If you transfer the entire iTunes folder, iTunes on the new computer will use that iTunes folder. iTunes will look like iTunes on the old computer, including the supporting data, such as playlists, ratings, playcount, etc.
Will All My Backups And Other Content Be In That Folder If I Move It ?
On the new mac I deleted the file called iTunes Library.itl, Extra's, Genius, and xml file.
Copy your old .itl file over to the new mac and start itunes by double clicking.
Everything is there instantly.
If you have another hard drive that you hookup to the laptop that holds all your music. Than make sure your preferance is what you had on the old laptop.
Works perfectly fine! Easy and took 5 mins or less.
