[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1372459, member: 38928"] First thing to know is that there are two parts to a library - The media content and the index/settings files What you've done is copied the media but not the library index/settings files. If you're not bothered about your ratings/playlists etc then make sure that in Edit-Preferences-Advanced you tick 'Keep iTunes Media folder organised' and 'copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library' Now go to File - add folder to library and point it at the Media folder. It'll index the files and create a new set of library index/settings files. If you need to keep all the library settings you've created you need to copy the library index/settings files from your Mac to your PC. Here's a link to the location of those files on both Mac and PC. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?[/url] [/QUOTE]
