The nice thing about iTunes is that it stores the library database in XML. Fortunately, everybody (well, the big players) is pretty much on-board when it comes to using XML as a standard.

Those other threads seem to make life more complicated than necessary. I copied my iTunes library from Mac to Vista the other day as an experiment, and all I had to do was copy the entire iTunes folder over onto the Vista machine, rename the iTunes library file to have a .itl extension, and open it in iTunes.
