I found this out recently, that you can export one whole playlist from one PC to another! I wanted to share it with you guys

First off, you will need to put home sharing on, so to do this you will need to do:

When on I-Tunes, on the toolbar at the top of the page-

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

it should show this, go on advance and as you look down the different sections, you should see one saying, "Turn On Home sharing"-

Click on "Turn On Home Sharing" and then you should come to a screen like this-

On this page, you will need to put your I-Tunes account email and password... (Don't have an account, sign up for one) Once you have done this, you should be brought to a page like this, where there is a blue box on the picture, that is where your email will be shown-

Which ever other PC has the playlist you want, you need to activate home sharing on the other PC, so you will need to use the following steps on the other PC for them to connect... Once you have done that and both PC's are connected (you will need to be in range for them to connect) The name of your other PC's I-Tunes library will show up on the side bar-

Something like that should show up on the sidebar of I-Tunes, once it has you should see on the picture below of an arrow which for you should be facing right, not downwards-

Click on it and it should come up with a list like this-

As you can see, it says playlist, you should click on this and then all the songs in that playlist will appear on the I-Tunes screen ready for importing, to put them into a playlist on your PC, you will need to create your own playlist, like this-

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Click on create playlist and then name it too whatever you want, once you have done this, you will need to go back to the playlist on the other PC which you are going to import, when on the other PC's playlist screen again, highlight them all by pressing ctrl + shift (click on top song of playlist, then press ctrl + shift, scroll down and click on bottom song of playlist and then they should all be highlighted)-

Once like that, drag them into the new playlist that you created and they should start to import, if you have done this correctly, you should see the percentage of what has been imported at the top of the I-Tunes library-

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Something like that should come up, or it may say something like 550 out of 1000 completed... Once they have all imported, that is it, you have exported your playlist from one PC to another


If just dragging them into the new playlist and they are in there but not importing, go back to the home sharing playlist and click import


The point of this is so that you know how to do it instead of creating the playlist from scratch on another PC.

Insert a CD and wait for a few seconds until you see a list of tracks. After a few seconds, a dialog box will appear asking you if you want to import the songs from the CD into I-Tunes. Select yes to start the process.

As the process continues, you will see green checks start to appear alongside each track this signifies that the track has been successfully imported into your I-Tunes library.

At the top of the screen, a statistics dialog box displays the current track name, time remaining until the track has been imported.

Once the process has been completed, go into your main music library and search for the track or album which you have imported and then they should be there ready to play
