"Yes, you can do this. At the end of the day, iTunes works with any music files. The library is nothing but a bunch of folders filled with music files. That's it.
The easiest way to get a whole bunch of music files into iTunes, without worrying about versions or anything like that, is simply to run iTunes, then go to the Finder, click on all the folders full of music, drag the folders into the iTunes window, and let iTunes copy them all into the new library.
You do have to worry about authorizing and deauthorizing, but that has nothing to do with moving the library. A computer is authorized to play music you buy from iTunes. If you have a computer that breaks or that you get rid of, you must be careful to deauthorize it before you get rid of it, because you are only allowed to authorize a certain number of computers. If you have a computer and you throw it away or sell it, then it is still taking up one of the "slots" you are allowed to have.
So if you are going to stop using your old computer, deauthorize it." Which I did.
I also saw Senuti and Supersync reviews in the new Mac|Life mag,
Senuti is www.fadingred.com
and Supersync is www.supersync.com
The question is, do I just follow Tacit's instructions without needing these programs, or would using one or both of them make it a lot easier for me?
Thank you,

Oh, yes, I need some new speakers, the old ones buzz horribly.

"Help->Moving your iTunes library to another computer"...
QUOTE
For more information, open Mac Help (in the Finder, choose Help > Mac Help) and search for “transferring files between computers.”
Plus four 'Related Topics' and three "Open" iTunes items.
