That's what I did too: storing christmas music in the christmas library. I love finder for this task. I didn't use the mouse at all; can't seem to get the hang of it, but over all, I think I accomplished my task, and the mistakes were fairly minimal. Now I know that once I've moved files where I want them, I should still tell it to keep files that appear to be duplicates because they probably aren't, and I can always check manually in finder to make absolutely sure. Anyway, I'm very happy that I was able to accomplish this task. I know playlists could have done the job, but for me, dual libraries were a much better solution. I'm glad you've almost got yours sorted as well. I'm sure I'll spot some errors from time to time; each of my libraries has over 500 songs, but now it's just a matter of occasional maintenance. Missy

I need to keep in mind how much Mac lets us use the mouse. What I ended up doing was highlighting the songs in my first library, then doing mouse down on them all, then mouse up inside the automatically add to iTunes folder under my Christmas library. So far, this has worked like a charm. I'm choosing to delete all the holiday music in my first library and actually store them inside the Christmas library. Wooh-Hooh, success! Now, I need to tidy up the Christmas library, because I'm certain I have duplicates. Lol!

I eventually learned, though, that even if I thought there was a duplicate, it wasn't always true, so if I deleted a song from 1 library, I told it to keep the files. It took some work, but I eventually got the hang of it. That's a very good idea, though. If I haven't done so already, I will make sure that checkbox is unchecked for both of my libraries. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 8:17 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: So close, 2 libraries Hi, you need to actually add the songs from the file browser by pressing command O. I would first go to iTunes prefs/advanced and make sure make a copy to your iTunes media folder is unchecked. No point in having duplicates on your machine.

It worked great to export all my holiday playlists, import them into the new library, then delete all those songs from my regular iTunes. Where I'm stuck now, is moving the rest of the Holiday music over to the new library. It doesn't seem like I can highlight and copy the tracks via iTunes. Any advance suggestions? I wondered about highlighting the tracks with the mouse, but I wasn't sure where to go from there. Lastly, my tones. I have nearly 30 Christmas tones, I've separated them via a grouping word, but again, I don't know how to move them.
