Can you transfer an iTunes library from one computer to another?

I'm wondering if there's a way to send or e-mail someone my entire iTunes library somehow. Because I'd really like to get all the songs from my home computer onto my laptop b/c I use it way more. I've thought about burning CDs but, I have over 620 songs, so that would be a LOT of CDs and time. Any suggestions?

Can you transfer an iTunes library from one computer to another?
You could burn them as MP3s. That takes up MUCH less room and would require fewer CDs or DVDs. Also, just in case of system failure, you should have back-up files of your music anyway. This would be a good time to make that backup to safeguard everything.


If you could network your computers you could file share there either wirelessly or by a crossover cable. If you aren't sure of what you're doing the CDs would be the safest thing.
Reply:Nope. If they allowed that, everyone would be sharing music without paying for it. You can, however, copy the files and burn them to a CD. Thing is, you have to know where they are. I hope you organized your library! :)
Reply:Burn as data onto a DVD. Might all fit on one disc depending on what the file format is.
Reply:that guy who answered first is wrong I have done so on the bran new computer I am using. just copy them to cd's or to a memory stick.





copy them to a folder on your computer and then import the files you have to do each one seperately if you use a memory stick.





this works for music you haven't bought through itunes. if you have bought music in itunes, itunes will ask you to log in to the account that purchased the music to confirm you are yourself or family.
