Need help moving itunes library to another pc?

i recently got rid of vista because i hated it it was driving me mad and i now have xp. before i changed i copied my itunes folder to an external hard drive. i didnt use any export tools. just copy and pasted the itunes folder from the my music folder.



i have now copied that folder back to the default location for itunes and it loaded the library album art number of plays all perfectly. the song lists also loaded but the songs dont work.



when i click a song it asks be to show where the file is once i do that the song loads. why is it doing this and is there a way i can do 2000 songs at once rather than showing each file where its stored (which is the default location just like it was on the old computer)



to put it short. how do i show itunes where all my media is stored because it doesnt seem to read my mp3s that are being stored in the default location unless i show itunes they are there. doing this 1 by 1 is not an option as 2k mp3s will take hoursNeed help moving itunes library to another pc?you could leave your hard drive plugged in, alternatively i think you have probably loaded itunes from the hard drive. delete them all from itunes, then copy and paste them to my music or something on your computer. then add folder to itunes (in itunes) then select the folder (my music or whatever you chose) hope to have helpedNeed help moving itunes library to another pc?Hi there,

Try syncing your ipod with the external hard drive.

Once on your ipod try syncing back to your computer with itunes.

I am not sure but that may work for you.
