Moving from iTunes to JRiver: Need Advice Please

(1/4) > >>

The Kitten Abides:
Happy Wednesday, JRiver Hivemind!

I am a community radio D.J. (now in the Sierra foothills, previously in New Orleans) and for the past 15 years, I've used iTunes to program and broadcast my shows - but in the search for better quality sound, I have now discovered JRiver and would like to move my music library from iTunes to JRiver.

However . . . as my iTunes library is rather large (over 100 GB), I store and run it from an external hard drive.  I'll need to do the same with using JRiver.

What is the best (easiest) way to import my iTunes music library into the cloned JRiver library that I have on my external hard drive, and then connect the JRiver installation on my laptop to it?

Any advice/guidance/help that y'all can share is GREATLY appreciated - thanks!!!

 ;D

Cheers,
Lisa the Kitten

Try a Google search for JRiver + iTunes.  Here's an example of what you can find.

The Kitten Abides:
Thanks, Jim.  I had read that article.  Is this a procedure that I can do using the JRiver interface on my laptop and my iTunes library on my external drive, into the cloned JRiver library on my external drive?

JimH:
I think you'll need to try it.  There's nothing that you can harm.

The Kitten Abides:
Righty-o, Jim!

I tried it and it imported my iTunes playlists - but that only comprises 8085 items out of the 14,982 items in my iTunes library . . . how can I import the rest?

Thanks for your help,
TKA
