Best answer:

Answer by Charlie

I have dragged and dropped onto a USB stick and transferred to another library before, I assume this would be the same with an external hard drive.

Answer by Ray

Yes

Answer by The Tank

NOTE windows based information, to answer your question yes you can and here is how

depending on the size of your library you may need more space

1 start then music(you will see a folder called sample music that crap that microsoft gives you and Itunes,

2 right click itunes and select copy

3 open up your external storage medium and right click and paste, depending on how much stuff you have size wise it may take a half hour or so to transfer

then you should be good to go

here’s a tip that not many people know about itunes, before adding the music to your new computer open up itunes and to to edit then preference then the advance tab and check the box that says ‘Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library‘

because otherwise you would have to have the hard drive always plug in to your computer to play the music because with out the box checked itunes makes a link from where it first found the music behind the scenes
