Hello,
I read about backing up iTunes and just wanted to make sure I did it right before re-installing windows as my music is so important to me.
What I want to do: Backup iTunes to an external hard drive WITH my playlists.
What I've Done: I went to the advance tab and turned ON "Keep my iTunes Music Library Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". These options were OFF before. iTunes quickly did something and then that was it.
Now, all I have to do is drag "iTunes" folder under my Music folder in Windows 7 to the external hard drive to completely backup iTunes with playlists and artwork right?
iTunes folder has the following in it:
Album Artwork
iTunes Media
Mobile Applications
Previous iTunes Libraries
iTunes Library Extras
iTunes Library Genius
iTunes Library
sentinel
TempFile.tmp
Thank you for looking over this/possibly correcting a missed step and giving me reassurance that the library is fully backed up and ready to be dragged over to new Windows music folder after re-install.
