I'm going to be getting leopard today and was wondering how to export my library so I have all my playlists, ratings. playcounts saved? if I export library from within Itunes (File > Exprt Libary...) will that work if I don't have

"Copy Files to Itunes Music folder when adding to library." checked? I don't have it checked because It doubles all of my music.. and I have 55gb+ of music 🙁 so my music is in its original folders. How can I save my music If I am using them in their original folders? (Music>Albums and Music>Loosies)
 
I simply copy the iTunes Library .xml file and the iTunes library file (no extension shown) onto a flash drive when I want to backup or transfer. Those files store the data as to where your .mp3s are stored, whether or not they are in the iTunes music folder.
 
ok thx! 🙂 I exported the xml file from within Itunes where is the Itunes Library file without the extension?
