    Howdy ,

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

     

    From your post I understand you'd like to copy over a playlist in iTunes to another one of your computers.  You can do this by using Home Sharing and following the directions below.

     

    Home Sharing

    Home Sharing allows you to transfer content to another computer or stream to other devices. To see your library and its contents on a different computer, you must be signed in with the same Apple ID and password.

    To turn on Home Sharing, follow the steps below:

    1. Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.
      Windows: Press the Control and B keys on your keyboard to open the iTunes menu bar. Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Learn more about menus in iTunes for Windows.
    2. Enter your Apple ID and password.
    3. Click Turn on Home Sharing.
    4. If your computer isn't authorized with your Apple ID, iTunes might ask you if you want to authorize it. Learn more about authorization.
    5. Click Done. Sharing will disappear unless it sees a shared iTunes Library on the network.

    On another Mac or PC, open iTunes. Repeat the steps above to turn on Home Sharing. You can turn Home Sharing on for up to 5 Mac or PC computers using iTunes on the home network. 

    Your shared iTunes library will appear on other computers, iOS devices using iOS 4.3 or later, and Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) only if those devices have Home Sharing turned on, use the same Apple ID, and are connected to the same home network.

    Share your iTunes library over your home network - Apple Support

     

    Take care.
