Ok, these are the steps I've taken so far, and now I'm not sure what to do. Lol!
I've created a separate library, because I kind of like this concept. I've also went through most of my holiday music and put a seasonable word inside the grouping field. Now, I don't know how to get all this music over to the other library, including the smart playlists and such. Any further suggestions?
