Howdy Lindasteelers,



I understand that you're looking to move your iTunes Library to a new computer. Fortunately the article linked below details how to do exactly that, which should preserve your playlists as well as your content when moving to your new computer!

You should be able to copy everything in your image into the iTunes folder in your new computer. There should be no need to import a playlist as iTunes should start up using the library exactly as it was before.


I wouldn't normally expect to see either Mobile Applications or the iTunesPrefs file in that folder. See Make a split library portable for some background on standard library structure and reorganization techniques.
