[QUOTE="newby, post: 1304386, member: 187711"] I've not doubt the iTunes from PC to Mac is done to death as it is quite a tricky procedure BUT I've found places the help with it such as the below: [url=http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/move_itunes_windows_mac.html]Move an iTunes library from a Windows PC to a Mac | Music and Audio | Playlist | Macworld[/url] I transferred my iTunes collection over and failed miserably! It messed up playlists, metadata and didn't copy large portions of the collection. Despite doing everything above. Anyway, it's now my DAD (the later PC to mac switcher!) to do his vast iTunes library. But I had one question that I just need some expert advice and help with: All the instructions for moving an iTunes library seem to presume that the iTunes library is on the main HDD or in the same destination as the library folder. However, a large part of my fathers collection if from his VINYL collection - so he has used a USB deck to put them onto his computer. Due to the size of this library they are kept on a separate hard drive. If I consolidate the library as iTunes asks it will put it onto the C drive - in which case I'll run out of room. Any tips around this? Or a more straight forward way to copy iTunes like a - copy iTunes library option or something? Maybe there is an app or something? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
