sync iTunes Music

2010-07-13 Thread Cliff Rediger
iTunes 8.2
on Mini G4
10.4.11

I have two iTunes Music folders
can't remember what I was thinking at the time
probably space, so created second iTunes library on external drive.

now with more HD space, I'd like to synce iTMF 1 with iTMF 2

that is ignore duplicates
copy tunes and info from iTMF 1 (that is not in iTMF 2) to iTMF2
and ignore tunes and info already in iTMF2 but not in iTMF1.

"Sync" may be the term that defines that, but

suggestions, software recommends and shared experience appreciated

Cliff

I just did exactly this with ChronoSync It works like magic. I have several 
iTunes libraries very large too.

Thanks John. Interesting. A little pricey.

Anyone have experience with:
File Synchronization:  http://nemesys.dyndns.org/FileSynchronization_EN.html

or
Sync Folders: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/syncfolders.html

Just a word about  iTunes syncing between 2 libraries is that I found it not as 
easy as a folder of files to copy. The iTunes needs some real brains in the 
sync tool to work, or you'll have a mess. Make sure to have a CCC of both 
before you use a sync app on your prize libraries.:-) This is why I settled on 
ChronoSync it's made to do Files like iTunes and a lot more.
