Hi Andy.
In that case, why not select the whole library, create a playlist and then
backup the playlist?
If you had to add your whole music collection again, at least you could
restore the playlist which could then be used to sync with an iPhone or
iPod.
I'm making an assumption that this is why you have limited the music you've
imported into iTunes in the first place.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi Pauline -
I've got a physical back up of all of my music. It's just that I have
created the iTunes library, as a selection from my total music collection,
and wanted to protect the library against anything happening to this
machine, causing me to start again, on a new computer. If that happened, I
wouldn't want to have to create this library again, from my entire music
collection. So, it's not about backing up the actual music, but the library
that points to the location for the desired music files -

Hello Andy,
I am sure others on list may have handier tips. I back up Itunes music by
copying them onto a flash drive. I use Windows exp, Jaws 8.
I go into my documents; my music..ITunes and then into itunes media and
then copy.
Hope this is of some help.

Subject: [access-uk] Exporting the iTunes library
Hi all -
Anybody help me understand the purpose of this? As there is no import
option on the iTunes menu for the library, what is the purpose of
exporting it?
I haven't played around with iCloud, but would like to back up the music
library, just in case, and would like really, just to be able to export
it, and keep it safe on an external drive, there to import, if anything
goes wrong on this machine. As there is no import option, what is the
point then of being able to export it, and is backing up to iCloud the
only way to create a back up of the library? I've already done a lot of
cherry picking for the library, as I have loads of duplicate tracks from
compilation albums, and now I have it the way I want it, wish to protect
it. Any help?
Thanks -
Andy
