iPod Moving Mac, how do I take my Play Count with me?

Going to be moving over to my shiny new MacBook Pro as my iMac is about to be retired to face a fate of becoming the family home entertainment hub. I have years of building up a respectable library and playcount, and while it is easy to take the music with me, just drop everything into the new iTunes, I was wondering if there is a way of taking the playcount over with me? Should I just copy and paste the contents of the iTunes folder from my old Mac into the new iTunes folder on my MacBook? Hardly an emergency but I have grown attached to my records! Thanks in advance!
