How can I transfer my playlists

Is their a way to transfer iTunes playlists after the music folder has already been transferred to another computer?

If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
the
TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
Curiously, there is no entry for My Music in this
panel. I don't know why. Maybe that's the problem?
5 Navigate up the tree to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and
is
pointing to C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\My
Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by
double
clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the
folder.
Don't know if it will work on Win2000. But it's
the
only thing I have in my 'bag-o-tricks'.
Best of Luck
I will try this perhaps tomorrow. I'm a little afraid
of screwing it up. For now, the workaround seems to
work. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try
tomorrow and let you know if I succeed.
Hi Buegi,
This procedure didn't seem to work. I think the level of tinkering is a little beyond me. In any case, the workaround solution of copying the .itl and .xml library files and placing them in my laptop each time a change is made is an effective and fairly easy solution. It's only downfall is that it's not "automatic." However, this is a small inconvenience in exchange for the great benefit of transporting my customized library data between computers.
So, I will consider this issue resolved.
Many, many thanks.
Espo

A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too? You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one.

How can I transfer a playlist I have created to a cd?

How can I transfer a playlist I have cated on my iPad to a cd for my wedding reception. I feel it's safer than leaving my iPad behind the bar.

You would insert a blank disc on your computer
On iTunes you click the playlist you want to put on the disc
Then find the button 'burn to disc'
Click it and wait till it is done
Then take out the disc
Hope this helps :)

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

HT1386 I copied my my iTunes music from an old computer to a Macbook Pro, but it did not copy the playlists on my nano. How can I transfer the playlists and their content from the nano to the Macbook

I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

How can I transfer a playlist from my ipod to the new itunes library?

How can I transfer my playlists from my iPhone to my new iTunes account?

I am transfering my iTunes to my new Mac. I have successfuly gotten the music transfered over via external harddrive. How can i also transfer my playlists which do not show up without remaking them?
Help would be appreciated.

As sberman noted, it would be much better if you transferred everything from your old computer. This will import yoru iTunes library and everything (playlists, artwork, etc.)
To copy playlists from yoru iPhone...
Select the iPhone on the left sidebar in iTunes. (If you cannot see the left sidebar, menu View > Show sidebar)
Click the triangle to the left of the iPhone name to view the contents of the iPhone.
Right click on a playlist name then Export...
To import this playlist into iTunes, menu File > Libraty > Import playlist and select the file you saved.

How can I transfer a playlist to my mum's iPad mini

My mum is visiting me and I would like to transfer a playlist of her favourite muisc to her iPad mini. What is the best way to do this? The home sharing function doesnt seem to be working for me as when I go into Music > More (via ipad)... there is no option for sharing (I have turned off sharing and turned it back on via itunes but still no joy). Any suggestions?

thank you, chris. cool, that works for the most part -- works well enough, anyway. it's a bit odd in that it won't transfer a big playlist (like 40 songs), but i just broke up the drags into segments. cool. it didn't retain the same order as my playlist, but who knows, might be my mp3 player (cheap thing, get what ya pay for...).
thx.

How can I transfer a Playlist to my mp3 player?

i have a cheap little mp3 player (Jensen), and i want to transfer an iTunes playlist (all my iTunes songs are already in mp3 format, btw) to the player. however, i can't click and drag a playlist to the mp3 player directly. the mp3 player instructions say to go to my iTunes music library (via Finder) and drag to the mp3 player.
but in the Library, my playlists don't show up.
if there was a way to have my playlists appear in Library, that would fix it. can this be done?
thx!

How can I transfer my playlists, ratings, etc. from one pc to another?

After scouring the posts here for a couple of hours, I'm not sure I have the answer I need for my situation.
I just purchased a 300 GB external HDD on which I have been extracting my CD collection. I want to share this drive between my main desktop pc, for everyday use, and my laptop, for entertaining.
The problem is, while I can easily share the songs between my two computers, I can't seem to share the playlists, ratings, classifications, etc. that I so scrupulously work on.
Is there a way of doing this?

the
TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
