Q: How can I transfer my entire iTunes library from Mac to Windows, and not lose play counts and date added info?

As long as the library is in the portable shape, which it may already be, then you can move the entire iTunes folder from one platform to the other. You may need to use a network to make the transfer as Macs won't natively write to NTFS formatted drives.

May 31, 2016 9:06 AMby ctnarron,Interesting, I'll try this. I had previously tried making the transfer with my external hard drive, which I believe I have formatted as NTFS.
How would I make this transfer over a network? My assumption is that I would need to turn on some file sharing options on both computers, but off the top of my head (I am currently not at either computer) I'm not sure how I could make it happen.
