    Sorry in advance if I shouldn't be posting this here.

    I got a new computer and I transfered my iTunes library already and sync'd my iPod to my new computer. I was wondering if there is a way I can get the playlists and ratings from my old computer to my new one.

    I already tried this but it didn't quite work out as advertised for me. Is there a quick, easy way to get just the playlists and ratings over to my new computer? Thanks in advance.

    I've already got the music over so I guess I don't need to copy "iTunes Music Library" right? Can I just copy the the other folders to a flash drive or something put them in my Music folder and then the ratings and playlists will appear in iTunes?

    You can use an ipod to computer transfer program to help. I personally use Cucusoft iPhone/iTouch/iPod to Computer Transfer. It helps me to transfer my songs/videos/photos from ipod to computer directly and safety.It works well for me,you can give it a try.
    It even has a step by step guide.


    Hope it helps.You can use http://www.ask.com to search more
