To break it down really quick, we’re going to be showing you how to move your iTunes library to Windows Media Player, another iTunes library, an iOS device, and finally to an SD card! We’ll be using both iTunes and a third-party program called iMusic in order to do all this.

Part 1. Export iTunes library to Windows Media Player

The first tutorial will be on how to export your iTunes library to your Windows Media Player. This is something you might want to learn how to do if you decide to change to Windows Media Player (which is, honestly, better at doing certain things — even if it’s not as sleek or as feature-packed.) This process is going to be a lot though, so try to stay with us as we break it down as best as we can.

Steps to Export iTunes Library to Windows Media Player

There are a few ways to transfer your iTunes library from one computer to another. When you get a new Mac, use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant, if you’re switching from Windows) to move files—including your iTunes files—from your old computer to the new one.

How To Download Itunes Library To Computer

Step 1 — Find 'Edit' , choose' Preferences '

To start the process, you will need to edit your Preferences on iTunes. You can do this by clicking the Edit tab and selecting the Preference option.

Step 2 — Advanced

Now, the Preference window should open. On there, move to Advanced preferences [1.]

Under advanced preferences, you will need to click the two following options on: “Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized” and “Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder…” [2.]Then, click OK to save your new preference settings [3.]

Step 3 — File > Library > Organize Library..

Once those preference settings have been changed, we’re going to then change the Organize Library settings. To do this, click the File tab > Library > Organize Library… (shown below.)

Step 4 — Consolidate Files

A pop-up window should appear on your screen (shown below.) On here, all you need to do is turn on the “Consolidate Files” option, and then save your changes by clicking the OK button.

Step 5 — Manage Libraries

It’s only at this point, that you can actually launch Windows Media Player. On there, you’ll need to click the Organize tab > Manage Libraries > Music (shown below.)

Step 6 — Music library Locations

Like usual, a pop-up should appear (this one called Music Library Locations.) The thing to do next to move your iTunes library to Windows Media Player is to click the Add button on the right-hand side of the screen.

Step 7 — Include Folder

You will now be given the opportunity to browse your PC for the relevant iTunes music folder (which is what we spent Steps 1 through 4 creating.) You should find this iTunes library under This PC > Music > iTunes.

Select your organized iTunes folder, and then click Include Folder in order to import your iTunes library to your Windows Media Player!

For this next breakdown, we’re going to be showing you how you can get a copy of your iTunes library from your Windows computer to your Mac computer! For this, we’re going to be using a third-party program called iMusic. It’s not exactly made for just backup and restoration, but it is one of the features available in its special toolbox.
