In this article, we share 2 easy ways to export iTunes playlists to new PC/Mac.

In iTunes, you can easily move iTunes playlists to a new computer using the Export and Import function.

  • Open iTunes on your old computer. Choose File > Library > Export Playlist.

  • Launch iTunes on your new computer. Click the “File” menu, select “Library” and click “Import Playlist.” Navigate to the playlist XML file you exported and click “Open” to add the playlist to the left iTunes menu.
