Move songs between iTunes libraries
I could not find an easy way to move songs from one iTunes library to another. After some searching and trial and error, I settled on the following.
- Make sure the trash can is empty.
- Select the songs I want to move, select Clear, confirm, and confirm moving to the trash.
- Open the trash can and move everything there to a temporary directory on the same drive as the iTunes library.
- Switch to another iTunes library.
- Copy all files in the temporary directory to iTunes.
- Delete the files in the temporary directory.
I tried to skip step 3 and 6, but apparently you cannot copy files directly from the trash can to iTunes….
