I recently got a Mac Book Pro to add to my computer collection. And I am wondering what's the best way to handle moving my iTunes information over.
Right now I run iTunes on my Acer Laptop, I keep my music on a NAS device that I access via SMB. My Mac Book Pro runs both Mac OS X (of course), and Windows XP Pro. What is the best way to move my iTunes library and playlists (and hopefully playcounts and album art too) to either OS on my Mac Book Pro, without moving my music. |

Hmm that doesn't quite solve the problem, I save all my music on a NAS device that I don't want to move it from that device.

I see now yoy have a Mac as a new computer. Then just copy the "iTunes Library.itl" file to the new computer and rename to "iTunes Library". I think they are binary compatible. Anyone can answer that?
