Moving iTunes Library to a new PC

[doubledown]

I just bought a new PC and I'm curious how I go about moving my iTunes library to store all the metadata. I believe under the USERS account there is a LIBRARY file that is pretty big. Although, all my music is stored on my M: drive.

What I was thinking is installing a fresh copy of iTunes on the new PC, launch it once and then copy the existing library file to the new PC. Would that work?

As far as I know, that should work. However, the files in your library need to be in the exact same location, otherwise it'll be a huge mess to link the files to iTunes. You'll have a ton of not found items.

Thanks, I plan on putting my music on an External USB 3.0 drive this time. I'll just be sure to make it the same drive letter as now.

There's also an iTunes folder you might ought to migrate as well.
