Hey there, Ricardo! I just wanted to let you know that I have my Christmas and non-Christmas libraries now, and it seems to have worked perfectly. Worst case scenario, I may have lost 7 songs in the process, but in light of the way I was doing it, I think that's pretty darned good. And, since not even I can figure out what 7 songs are missing, they couldn't have been important. Only reason I suspect anything is missing is because before I started, there were 736 items in the itunes library, and now, the default library has 500 and the Christmas one has 229. In any case, I really appreciate your help. Now, 1 final question. When I buy stuff in future, should I be in the library where I want it to go? In other words, if I want another Christmas song, should I make sure that library is loaded at the time, and if I buy regular stuff, I don't want it to end up in the Christmas library. So, I guess the question is, will new purchases only go into the active library? Thank you very much, and I hope that you're having a fantastic day! Missy

I would assume a library since you also have an option to export playlists. Why not export it and find out?

Then VO right arrow over to the music table and interact. Each song has a checkbox. Just find the box and uncheck them manually or, after you interact with the table press command A to select all then bring up the context menu with VO shift M and select uncheck selections. > > To create a new iTunes library hold down the option key while iTunes is > opening. A dialog will ask you to choose or create a new library. Pick create.

Well, now that I think about it a little more, I don't see why you couldn't make a brand new music library and just put your christmas music in it. Actually, thats probably the best way to go here. >> >> hth >> >> Ricardo Walker >> rwalker...@gmail.com >> Twitter & Skype: rwalker296 >> www.mobileaccess.org >> >> On Dec 19, 2011, at 10:21 PM, Missy Hoppe wrote: >> >>> Hello, all.
