iTunes playlists...

[steven_lufc]

What file do I need to backup to retain my iTunes playlists. In the past I've just copied my iTunes music folder, but that just backs up MP3's and not all my playlists. Is it simply just the iTunes preference files??

 

[Darkshadow]

Music -> iTunes -> iTunes 4 Music Library
Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music Library.xml

Those two files.

Or just use Apple's Backup application. You can back up your iTunes playlists to your iDisk (or DVD-R, or CD-R, or external drive, etc.).

Cheers guys...

I just backed up my /user/music folder and it did the trick.

Don't have a .Mac account so no iDisk for me - couldn't justify the fee.

Thanks
