New laptop, blahblahblah. I've backed up my entire iTunes library onto an external HD, and I now want to put it on the new one. Is there any easy way to do this that will allow you to retain all your album artwork/ratings/checked unchecked information?

I've tried copying the entire iTunes folder into the one made on my new laptop, but all the shortcuts that appear in iTunes are broken. When I try dragging all the songs into the window, the information is broken.

You know, usually I'm the one telling people to Google things, but in this one moment of ignorance, I completely forgot about Google.

I have a hard time believing you are ever in the wise majority.

I am when I'm hanging around morons. Which I usually do, aside from this community.

Also, all the google results look a bit suspicious. I was really hoping there'd be someone here who'd done it before that knows the best and easiest option, but whatever.

Then add a site you trust to the search. Basic stuff, man.

Had no idea you could limit searches to a specific site with Google like that. Thanks Tanner!

I seriously hope that both oeuvre and Slappy said that under huge invisible sarcasm quotes. Otherwise, I'll draw the same conclusion as maestro. o_O
