It isn't necessary to go disc by disc.

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607339

Thanks kindly, Dave.

I'm not quite sure what happened there but I think I have it fixed for the next time ... I have a hunch there will be a next time. ; - )

I read Hudgie's tip but my move to a new PC seems more complicated. I have three user accounts on my XP system and we all have different library's, playlists, etc.. but all pull from the same Music Folder on my secondary HD for the songs.

I will transfer all my music to an external HD and then load back on my new PC which has only a single drive.

Will Hudgie's method insure that on the new PC all the three different libraries, playlists, etc.. will sync up correctly and know where to find their respective music? Assuming I "export" the library.xml of course from the old to new.
