Importing songs from a library on the same computer

i have 2 itunes libraries on one computer, is there a way to add songs from one library to another without burning a cd?i know you can add folders to libraries, is there a way to make a folder? thanks in advance

Create a shared folder that both accounts can access and copy the file there so the other account can get to it.
And before you ask how to create a shared folder, this is covered in your computers help files. Try it.

  • How do I import music from other libraries on the same computer?

    We have four separate accounts created on our iMac for four different users. Each of these accounts has an iTunes library associated with it. I would like to be able to import music from one iTunes library to another. I would be grateful for any help!

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

  • Can I put songs in my library onto another library on the same computer???

    I have a song on my library, and someone in my family wants it on his library ON THE SAME COMPUTER. Is there a way to put it on his library without him having to buy it for himself???
    Please help me. I don't want to have to buy one for his library.

    This question really is more about itunes and not about the ipod nano. Please repost this question in the correct forum that regards itunes and windows. THe correct forum is linked below.

    You can try this. Does the second person have their own itunes music store account for the 2nd itunes library? What you can try doing is authorizing the purchased music from your itunes account to play on the 2nd persons library. Or it might be easy just to spend 99 cents for the 1 song.

  • With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

    With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

    I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

    Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc.  If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.

  • More than one library (on the same computer) open?

    In the new iTunes 9 it is possible to access several libraries on my home network from the open iTunes window, which is really cool. I wondered if this means it may now be possible to have access to several libraries on the same computer (or connected drives) at the same time. I use 3 different libraries on my work PC and my mac at home and the process of shutting down iTunes, holding down shift/option, reopening itunes, selecting library is rather cumbersome. Having each of the libraries accessible the same way they are for other libraries on the network would be really useful.
    Is it possible?

    I know it's Valentine's Day, but before you get your wife fixed up the first thing you need to do is recover the deleted albums for your own library.  See if the files are elsewhere on your hard drive, or in the Recycle Bin.  When you find them, get them back into your own library.  Now you are ready to help your wife.
    As noted above, you can have two libraries in one Windows user account via the Shift-Start approach, but if you both use your libraries regularly, that becomes annoying quickly.  It is better to set her up with her own Windows user account. She can have her own iTunes library there.
    Get a copy of your entire iTunes folder to start her off.  She can delete stuff she doesn't want without messing you up.

  • HT3819 sharing i tunes library on the same computer with different users

    How do I share my library on the same computer switching to a different user?

    If you want all users to be able to access the same music, but with different libraries, NikkiG's advice is spot on. However, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ since I just set this up for a friend.
    If you want all your users to have exactly the same library, and not just access to a shared library, do the following:
    -move the entire "iTunes" folder (~/Music/iTunes) into the Shared folder or to separate drive.
    -in each user's account, remove the iTunes folders (or just move them to a new location until you're positive this method works for you)
    -pop open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and here's where it gets a little dicey; type the following into the command line:
    ln -s /Users/Shared/iTunes/ ~/Music/iTunes/
    What this does is create a symbolic link (think alias, but more technical and powerful) between the iTunes folder in the Shared folder, and each user's iTunes folder. This way, each user is directly accessing the iTunes library, and not just through the shared area in iTunes itself. This allows them to add/remove music and playlists to the same library.
    HOWEVER, this method will mess up if you have multiple users logged in and using iTunes at the same time.

  • My daughter and I each have iTunes libraries on the same computer, how can I move some songs from one library to the other?

    So, if she purchased a song from iTunes in her library, I will also have to purchase the same song to add to my library?

  • HT1351 I have a new iPod Touch......I was able to successfully set up a new account, but I want it to be separate from the 800 songs I already have in my iTunes library.  How do I set up a separate library on the same computer?

    I have a new iPod touch; I have an iTunes library of music for an older iPod shuffle.  I'd like to set up the iPod touch for my wife with a separate library of music - I was successful in setting up a separte account, but it seems my 800 songs are still there in the library.  How do a set up a new account on the same computer without bringing along all the music that will clog up her iPod touch?

  • Computer crash importing songs from CD/Library to iTunes

    I use Windows XP. For a while I have had a problem with my computer crashing completely every time I try to import songs from either a CD or the Library although it will let me import 1-3 songs at a time before it crashes so previously that is what I did. I was advised to wipe my hard drive and then reinstall iTunes which should resolve the issue. NO IT HASN'T.
    I had to wipe my hard drive yesterday and reinstall everything because of other issues. Downloaded the new iTunes and guess what - YES - THE COMPUTER CRASHED while importing songs from a now very small library because I want to get this problem resolved BEFORE I connect my iPod to transfer songs back to the iTunes Library
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Packard Bell   Windows XP  

    There are lots of things to try before wiping your hard drive again, because since you just did that yesterday, it wan't really effective, was it? So I think it won't be any better today.
    I believe somethin's gone wrong with your CD drive, personally.
    Desktop > right-click on My Computer > Manage >Device Manager
    Over on the right, expand your CD/DVD ROM drives. Highlight each one right-click and choose uninstall
    Do NOT restart your PC yet.
    In the same Device MAnager list, find the IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers
    right-click and uninstall both the primary and seconday IDE channels.
    Now you will have to restart your PC. It will take a bit ,onger than usual to come up because it has to go find that hardware stuff and reinstall it.
    Then restart your PC one more time when the message comes up.

  • Can't import songs from music library to itunes!

    I have no problems importing songs from audio cds into itunes, but it won't recognize any of the files that i have in other folders of my computers (in mp3 format). and when i select 'import' and these songs, it just doesn't do anything. any suggestions to help??? thanks!
    dell inspiron 4100   Windows XP  

    Most of them are files burned from an audio CD onto another computer, and then saved onto a USB device and then transferred onto my computer (I no longer have the original CDs, hence the roundabout procedure). some of the files however, are simply from 'my music' folder that i had previously burned onto my computer before installing itunes. i've checked the status of all the files--and none are protected. any suggestions? thanks!
    Reknath, where did these files come from? If there
    were downloads from other websites, they are probably
    protected & that's why you can't get them into iTunes.

  • How do i put songs i have purchased in my itunes library into my husbands library on the same computer?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You can't unless you use the same account. To import, select them and drag to the desktop. Finally, drag them to the other iTunes in the Mac
