If your hard drive is nearly full after loading all your music and other media into iTunes, or if you just want to move all those music and media files to another hard drive partition on windows XP, here's a way to make the move while retaining all your playlists, ratings, and play history.

First make sure that the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option is checked in iTunes Preferences:

1. Open iTunes.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

3. Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and then click the General tab.

4. Select the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" checkbox.

5. Click OK.

Once you've done that, follow the next set of steps to change your iTunes Music library location to the new drive and then consolidate your library to the new location. This not only copies your audio and media files over, it also retains your ratings and playlists.
