Two computers, two itunes libraries, want to consolidate to 1

I have two computers both with itunes, both with songs loaded and I want to consolidate or move everything to one computer using one itunes library. Both computers are running windows xp.

There are a few utilities that can help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes

  • HT1660 I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac).  Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

    I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac).  Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

    I'm sorry I just saw the last post. I had two users on my hard drive, one for me and one for my daughter, but I am not sure what you mean by partioning my external????? I have heard the term before, but don't know how to do it. I am having serious crashing issues with this computer and believe I really need to do a clean install. I just want to make sure everything for both ipods is safe (is???? I think so, everything is......I hate when the English language does this to me!)

  • Two Computers two itunes libraries... 1 Iphone

    I have two computers - 1 iphone and 2 itunes libraries... is there an easy way to make the two Itunes libraries sync, so i don't have to constanly make sure both libraries match, so it doesn't delete the stuff i want, and so podcasts etc don't download twice?

    I know what you mean. At home, we have 4 iPods, but only one PC. It was very difficult to manage so many ipods from only one itunes library. My Dad look on the internet and found out this. Actually, this is a pretty cool tool because you can create your own library, add or delete the music you want, without affecting the other's libraries. What I like the most is that I don't have my brother's music on my ipod anymore!!!!
    Hope it helps

  • I How do I combine two ITune libraries from my laptop and home computers so I can download the songs to my IPhone?

  • How do I merge two iTunes libraries?

    I have two iTunes libraries on different hard drives on one computer. I choose the appropriate library when starting iTunes.
    I now want to merge these libraries but retain the files on their separate hard drives (the files are too large to combine).
    How do I do this?

    This is indeed an excellent question. I am looking for what seems to be the exact same solution. I have two libraries, where the ratings, checks, and play counts are included in the itunes xml library files. I have found that using synchronization software only compares documents and replaces one with the other. If I modify one computer (in terms of collections, ratings, or play counts), and then don't synchronize before modifying the other computer, then my libraries do not match.
    If there were a quick solution to compare and merge libraries, then I would not have to re-synchronize libraries each time I switch computers (assuming I'm not adding/changing mp3 file structure).
    I suppose there could be a very long-winded applescript to do this, but I'm not familiar with scripting, nor interested. Any help?
    Have any solutions been found?

  • Can you access and store two itunes libraries on one computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes but you may run into issues if you want them both to run iTunes Match or automatic downloads.

  • I have two macs. I have two itunes libraries. How can I sync my iphone with both

    Itunes is driving me insane every single day now.
    I have two macs so I obviously have two itunes libraries. I have purchased things on both my desktop and my laptop UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT.
    How Can I add/sync media from both without having to erase EVERYTHING. So ridiculous.
    Thanks

    To share the iTunes content between your computers, just enable Home Sharing from iTunes > File > Home Sharing.
    You'll still have to sync the iPhone with just one iTunes library because of the copyright restrictions that iTunes must follow.

  • I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

    I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from  iCloud, if that makes any difference.  Thanks. Mark

    Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.

  • Can I put two Itunes libraries on one ipod

    Wondering if I can put my husband's itunes library onto my ipod, so that we won't need two ipods.

    to do this you need one itunes library. I understand you have two iPods are they both syncing with hte same itunes library. If so just sync the all content onto one iPod if you have enough space. Some peope have a lot of music and video.
    If you have two itunes libraries that you sync each ipod with then you need to merge them these are your options if itunes are on separate computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If they are on the same computer but different logons then copy the music foler from one account to the other.
    Once everything is in the same iTunes you may also need to Authorise the computer with the other persons Apple ID
    Then you should be good to go

  • Two iTunes libraries one MacBook Pro account...

    How do you make two itunes libraries on one macbook account? I've heard it's possible for PC so it should be for a Mac... If this topic has already been discussed sorry for the inconvenience...

    Make sure iTunes is closed, then hold down the option key while clicking iTunes in the dock. Creating a new library should be an option in the window that pops up. To select a different library, just do exactly the same except you'll select the library you want to open instead of creating a new one.

  • I have two iTunes libraries I need to merge.  Both contain over 34,000 songs, so I cannot do this manually.  Is there an easy way to do this?

    Drag the media folder from one over to an open iTunes window.  Go away and have a long lunch.  Of course if you have a lot of common content you will be spending your next vacation sorting out the duplicates.  Oh, you can search the Internet because I am sure somebody has some wonder tool that purportedly prevents duplicates, not that I would trust any automated method.  I always deal with duplicates one by one.
    Consolidating Multiple iTunes Libraries - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/consolidating-multiple-itunes -libraries-api1/ - Basically using consolidate/organize to make sure all your media are in one place, then copying media from a second library to the main one by simply adding the media as new files.

  • Combine two itunes libraries thatare one on computer

    I have two iTunes libraries that are on my computer (I use the shift button when opening to choose which one I want to open).  So since I have two (one for iPhone and one for iPod) the music in them is mismatched because I use my iPhone more often and downloaded songs get placed into that library.  My question is do I have to manually go through and find out which songs aren't in both libraries and import them or can I do this automatically? I don't want to merge them, I just want them to have the same music in them so I can just uncheck which ones I don't want to sync.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Drag the larger library to the external drive normally, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, choose it, drag the media files from the second library into the open iTunes application window, and then import the playlists.

  • Can you put two iTunes libraries on the same computer? what is the best way?

    Is it possible to put two iTunes libraries on the same computer?  What is the best way to do it so the two libraries are not connected?

    yes.

    give them distinct names. launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder of the desired library.
    FWIW, there are 3rd party apps that help with managing multiple libraries, notably:
    PowerTunes
    iTunes Library Manager
