Of course you'll have to configure the network settings on the two systems so they can share files but that's no big deal. We can walk you through it.

| barrybrn Senior Member 1568 Posts 9/03 |  Posted - Jun 24 2008 : 8:22AMI am going to buy a new desktop computer and want to transfer my iTunes files into the new computer. I have like 600+ CDs loaded on my old computer and it took me forever to do it. I don't want to have to reload everything on the new computer. Is there some program I can use and say hook up a cord from one USB port to another? Or would it be better to buy a external hard drive and load it into that? Thanks for any help. Barry [Link] |

| snowman872 RainCoatReviews.com 400 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Jun 24 2008 : 10:05AM There are in fact several programs that do what you suggest. The most popular is called Laplink. They also have a program called PC Mover, that lets you transfer applications and settings from your old computer to your new one. http://www.laplink.com/ http://www.laplink.com/pcmover/ Another rock solid program of this nature that I used to use all the way back in the DOS days (with a parallel cable) is FastLynx. http://sewelldirect.com/fastLynx3.aspx -- Snowman [Link] |

You may need to export/import or something along those lines. I know you can authorize up to 5 computers to play the songs stored in the library but only one of them is considered the "master" library. I learned this the hard way when I synced our ipod to my desktop system and accidentally wiped out a bunch of music. [Link] |

| DrP0rn0 Senior Member 1836 Posts 5/04 | Posted - Jun 28 2008 : 8:09PM Should you decide to use an external drive you can use ITunes to do it for you with a combination of "keep ITunes music folder organized", "Copy files to ITunes library when adding to library", and the advanced tool called "consolidate library".
