How to copy your friends iTunes library and take it home with you.
Macintosh
Improving iTunes Preferences
Notice the small box under "iTunes Music folder location". In that window is
where their iTunes Library is located.
Now let's help your friend out by changing a couple of settings in their
preferences. These will make their iTunes Library work better for them.
Check the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" check box. When this is
checked, iTunes goes out on the internet and looks up each song in the
library, then it creates a folder with the artist/musician name in the
iTunes Library and creates a folder with the name of the album the song
was recorded on. With this checked all the songs are indexed by album and
artist so they are visually easy to find... also it makes locating
duplicates in your iTunes Library simpler because iTunes corrects the song
title so it matches the original title on the album.
ALSO check the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library"
checkbox.
If that box isn't checked (which is the default when the program is
installed) and you add a song through the "add file to library" menu pull
down, iTunes doesn't copy it to the Library, it merely creates a data
pointer to the song where it is on the Mac system at the moment it's
added. If you delete where you had the song it will generate the file not
found error in iTunes which is the exclamation mark at the left of a song
listing.
The preferences will now look like this.
