How to organize my itunes library?

How do I set up old iTunes Library on new computer?

• I actually came across the main article everyone keeps alluding to last December because I had plans to buy a new computer. Today the new computer arrived, and I thought I had the process down but I guess not. Here's what I did: This morning I made some final changes to the Library on the old computer. Then I copied the library database file from its original place (in my music folder on the old C:) to a new place on the external hard drive (which is in the same folder as the actual music database). When I turned on the new computer, I copied the database from the external to a place on the new C:. I opened iTunes, pressing SHIFT, and then selecting the library database file. My library came up but immediately all the songs starting going haywire. The little black exclamation points scared so I closed it down and tried again. I tried opening iTunes and starting a whole new Library and then physically adding the music database (not one by one; just selecting the entire folder). This meant all of my playlists were gone and I had to organize my movie files all over again but it was ok until I discovered I couldn't access the song info for my entire music library. I read someone because the folders locked or some such. Basically, I have my correct library database file and all my music. Can someone help me in putting it all together?

• Answer:

  did you get all of your songs from itunes store or limewire, pirate bay etc... if you got it from itunes just install a fresh itunes log into your itunes account and redownload all of them..... if you dont want to do that you need to copy each specific music file from your old computer....(wherever you kept your music when you download it) If you downloaded from limewire just go to your main hard disk or my documents and look for a limewire saved folder or pirate bay etc.... just drag and drop you also said that they were locked, im guessing you downloaded your music files from itunes try my first suggestion
