If I read this right, you're asking about preserving the playlists. Having migrated from old to new Macs (from iTunes 2.x to 4.x in one case), I've found that if you simply replace the iTunes music folder on the new Mac with the folder from the old Mac, iTunes doesn't read the playlists. The music files can be imported easy enough. I haven't found a way to import the playlists or otherwise keep the playlists intact. If anyone knows, please pass it along!

In OS 9, under Documents there is a folder called iTunes. This folder
contains the preference file for your play lists and also contains all your
music files. Back this entire folder up.


In OS X, look in your Music folder (under your user directory) for the
iTunes folder. Again do the same thing and backup this folder.

This has probably been answered before, but how do you backup itunes lists
so you protect yourself from duplicating the work when your harddrive
crashed?


Thanks,
