Transfer music between iTunes libraries

My wife just got herself and iPod nano. She wants some songs out of my music library. How can I transfer songs over to her library w/o downloading the songs all over again? She has her own iTunes account on her Windows log in.
Thanks.

are you working out of different XP user accounts on the same PC?
if so, the following document may be of some help:

  • HT3819 The article says you can "simply drag music between computer libraries."

    Is there an easy way to transfer music between computer libraries?  I am using home sharing and can stream music between one computer to another with no problem.  However, when I try to transfer files from one library to another, I can not transfer anything.  The Apple Support article said you can "simply drag music between computer libraries."  I have tried to transfer music between libraries on three different computers in my home and have not been able to transfer a sigle file.  How exactly is this "simple" process supposed to work?
    Thanks.

    First make sure you have Home Sharing turned on. This won't work if you only have Library Sharing turned on. Read my post in the thread I've linked to below to learn the difference between Home Sharing, Library Sharing and how to enable them.

    Now, once you've enabled Home Sharing go to my post in the link I've posted below. Find the one with the screenshot. It will show you the different parts of a window so you how to import media from another computer using Home Sharing. Notice the Show menu in the screenshot.

  • Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Nope.  Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
    Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes.  In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased  and download the purchased songs for free.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

    Bottom line: I am reporting on this one and clearly state that. So, is what the Adobe documents are saying about .wav  non support in Premiere Elements Mac not true?
    Details:
    My replies to the originator of this thread about wav relate only to Mac in this thread asking about music in Premiere Elements Mac.
    On this one I am reporting on what I have read in Adobe documents. And, I clearly state I am strictly an Elements Windows user.
    Please note my comment
    However, I did come across the following which suggests wav files can be played in Mac.
    How to Play a WAV File on a MacBook | Chron.com
    So, the question would be is there a difference between being able to playback wav in QuickTime multimedia player of a Mac versus
    having Premiere Elements itself having no support for wav?
    Since you are an Elements Mac user, could you respond to:
    If the following is as you SG have written it here
    WAV files work much more efficiently than any other audio format in both the Windows and Mac versions of Premiere Elements.
    then why do the Adobe documents for Premiere Elements Supported Audio Import formats show wav as Windows Only?
    Thank you for your Mac input on this.
    Thank you.

  • I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device.  I am also dealing with new iTunes 11.  How do I do this??  What folder does iTunes use?

    I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device.  I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11.  How can I accomplish this successfully?    What folder does iTunes use to store the data in?  I've tried several things.  Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered.  It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer.  This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

  • How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

    How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

    hi,
    it depends from the OS which is installed on your computer. At first you must access your Music folder which contains the iTunes folder:
    Windows 7:
    \username\My Music\iTunes.
    Windows XP:
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Music/iTunes/
    In this iTunes folders you can find a "iTunes Media" folder which contains your Music. This Music you can than copy on a flash drive

    If you haven't yet set up the MacBook, use the Migration Assistant the first time you turn it on. Otherwise, locate the iTunes library on the old computer and move that folder to the new one as you would any other folder.

    Hi,
    We from nova media have just released an HTC to Mac sync solution. It is called FoneSync for Android. Check out http://www.novamedia.de for details. It will sync your iTunes playlists with your HTC phone. Next to our solution, you might want to look for isyncr or doubletwist...
