Auto Synching iTunes libraries and music files among 3 computers?

My wife and I have a PowerBook and a MacBook that we use offsite at work and at home. I'm buying a new iMac for home. What I'd like to do is make the iMac a central respository for our entire iTunes music library, and have the 2 'books synch with the iMac. It's a huge music library - like 80+ GBs, so it won't even fit on each of our laptops. I don't want to simply turn on iTunes sharing to stream the music to the laptops, especially since that won't work (easily) while we're not at home. What I do want, is to have certain playlists automatically synched to the 'books, so the music files of a particular playlist (or lists) actually reside on the 'books. My wife would have the playlists & associated mp3 files on her MacBook and I'd have my playlist and associated mp3files on my PowerBook. And the iMac would have everything.
I thought that I read an article in MacWorld or MacAddict a while ago about this, but can't seem to turn it up. I've also looked at some of the synching software on VersionTracker, but I'm not seeing anything that's as simple as clicking a Synch now button...
Anyone have any suggestions? Advice? Thank you in advance!!

I replied earlier to your iPhoto question, and the response here is similar. iTunes is not a server and so you will have similar issues. Things are further complicated because iTunes doesn't particularly like to Export song files (tho' it will merrily export Playlists). However you can drag and drop Library listings to the Desktop and it will copy the song files there. So, drag and drop the files to a folder, sync that folder to a folder on the client machines, and again add the songs to iTunes via a script using Folder Actions for automation.
And again, you will have issues if you try and sync back to the iMac. So there's nothing as simple as clicking a Sync now button.
I wonder if this capability is limited because it would make piracy even easier?
Have you thought of buying a couple of iPods? That's how we solved the same issue in this house.

  • Multiple itunes libraries and music folders

    I have itunes libraries and music folders on my computerd hard drive and 2 external drives. How do I get it all into one library on one drive without losing my music?  Please help I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. Thanks Michael

  • Will changing location for Itunes Apps and Music files to different drive (from dive C: to drive E:)now effect how they work. And will Itunes be able to find them, when I do a sync?

    Will changing the location of folders effect how my Itunes will run? As I am runnig out of room fast on my C drive. And have almost a 1 terrabyte of room on the drive I want it to all to go to. I was thinking of just cutting and pasting.

    No, but do not simply move files around else you will have a lot of grief...
    Do NOT move files then change iTunes prefs to a new location as this will not work.
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy your entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (and everything inside it) on your C: drive to the E: drive.
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you copied to the E: drive.
    That is all you need to do. You do not need to change any other settings.

  • ITunes match and music files part company

    My iTunes library became corrupted, so I have lost all the playlist and star ratings I had. I do have iTunes match, so they exist there, but not connected to my physical files. Is there a way to reconnect it with my music files on disk?
    Even if this was done in batches I wouldn't mind as I'm not too bothered about all of my library, and it's probably a good time to prune, but I don't want to have match as my only usable copy, with the metadata and files becoming graudally more different.

    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum - you'll get better responses there.

  • Share iTunes playlists (and music files) on multiple devices and separate networks

    I want to know how to share playlists between my devices (i.e., iphone, ipod, ipad) and another device (ipad, itouch, ipod) across networks. In other words, without the benefit of home share since the other device will not be on my home network.

  • Transfer iTunes Library and Music to new computer

    I know this has probably been asked many times before but can anyone help me transfer my iTunes Library and Music files to my new computer. I just bought a new iMac and need to move things. I had previously moved my Music files to my external hard drive as my old computer hard drive was getting full. So I have my Library on my old computer and my Music files on my external hard drive. I want to transfer both onto my new computer (both on internal hard drive).
    How do I do this?

    Yes, read the other discussion and what I am saying to do is copy the iTunes folder from the internal drive onto the external drive with the music already stored there.
    You should now be able to open the library directly from that location using the linked start up directions from the other thread. If that works, you can then move the drive to another computer and open the library there using the same start up instructions.

    Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
    You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play.  Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

  • New iMac. Flash drive is primary for OS and apps.  I want to use my HD 2 (1 TB hard drive) for my bulky photo and music files.  Can I direct iPhoto and iTunes to use the larger hard drive as the primary target when importing?

    New iMac. Flash drive is primary for OS and apps.  I want to use my HD 2 (1 TB hard drive) for my bulky photo and music files.  Can I direct iPhoto and iTunes to use the larger hard drive as the primary target when importing?

    Yes.  Unfortunately, I don't know the specifics because I don't use iPhoto anymore and I completely copied over 15 years of MP3 files recently when I installed 10.7.  Needless to say, I have not opened iTunes since and probably never will again - not because of iTunes but because of my stupidity.  I did have some of the files backed up but I hadn't backed up in a while.......anyway....
    When I imported my CD's, I had them go directly to my external firewire.  I can't remember exactly how to set it, but in the preference section of iTunes you can specify an import destination to any drive that's available to your machine.  I did this with iPhoto as well way back at one point when I was using Tiger, but I don't remember the specifics on that either.  I can't imagine they would have discontinued support for that feature since then. 
    Sorry I couldn't help more.

  • Sharing Photo, Video and Music files

    My new iMac has arrived and I'm looking forward to transferring across all my files at the weekend and to starting to use it.
    We use the computer as a family computer although we have different accounts on the computer. I would like to enable all members of the family to have access to all photo, video and music files when they are signed into their individual accounts and using iLife.
    My question is this: where should I place these files to enable common access. At the moment they are stored under my user name and therefore only I can access them. A slight refinement on this is that although I want to encourage the kids to use iLife and develop their skills in this area, I want to make sure that they don't delete/alter any of the original files so would ideally like them to save any changes they make in a new file under their accounts.
    Hopefully this makes sense!

    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    To protect your own user account:
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.

  • Multiple Libraries and Music Folder Locations

    I'm stumped.
    I keep three libraries on my MacBook Pro. The folder structure for where the library and xml files live is basically:
    ~\Music\iTunes\ATV
    ~\Music\iTunes\Pete
    ~\Music\iTunes\Jen
    Each library is associated with its own Music Folder, on an external hard drive, like so:
    External\Contents\Main
    External\Contents\PJP
    External\Contents\JLP
    I have iTunes manage the music files, keep things organized, and copy songs into the Music Folder.
    When I open the "Pete" library, for example (by holding down Option when I click on iTunes in the Dock), it opens fine. I do what I need to do there, and quit iTunes. Now, somewhat suddenly, when I open the "Jen" library next (again by holding down Option while launching iTunes to select that library file), the location of the Music Folder in Preferences->Advanced has been changed to the location of the last library's Music Folder. In other words, the library should be pointing to \Contents\JLP, but instead is pointing to \Contents\PJP.
    I can change the location of the Music Folder (a fairly long process), but the next time I open up a different library, the Music Folder location is similarly incorrect.
    I imagine I'm just tired and overlooking a fairly easy fix/cause of this behavior, but it escapes me and I'll be grateful for your help.
    Cheers.

    I have noticed this happen when the computer temporarily loses a link to the external drive it reverts to the locally stored music folder but reverts to the external drive when it is available again. Don't know if a similar issue is what is happening here if so it may be something to do with the refresh rate at which your computer communicates with the external drive.

  • How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

    how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
    I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
    My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
    That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
    Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
    Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
    Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
    Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
    I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
    So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
    But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
    Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

    How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

  • Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

    Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
    I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
    I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg  The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
    Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
    Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.
