I manage my music on my mac pro, but was wondering if there was a way to transfer the playlists that I made on my mac pro onto my macbook?

Yep. Just right click on the name of the playlist, then export playlist. I believe you have to save it as an XML file in order for it to be recognized by your MacBook. Once you've exported it, just transfer the XML file to your MacBook, open iTunes, click on File, then Library, and Import Playlist.

excellent. Thank you. I had done that previously, and it hadn't worked. I suppose it's because I saved the files in the default format, Unicode Text, instead of XML. I wonder why the default format would be one that doesn't work. Anyhow, thanks again.
