Hi all,

I need to move my entire iTunes Library from a PC to a new PC.

Old PC:

- I have two drives, a C:\ drive and a D:\ drive

- iTunes is installed in the C:\ drive, in the Music Library

- All music files are located in the D:\ drive

- The C:\ drive is complitely full, out of 100gb there is maybe 2 gb left.

This Means I cant make a backup or copy the music files to the C:/Users/Music/iTunes folder

So, how do I copy my entire Library with ratings and playlists etc? When using Homesharing the ratings are not copied...

Dont want to use iTunes match since all my files are 320 bitrate quality, I would Loose the quality to 256 when using itunes Match

thanks for the postings, would really appriciate it

Fabrice
