Combining 2 itunes libraries?

Okay I have not found a clear answer to this on any of the apple boards or online yet.

I loaded my older itunes music onto my laptop where I had already uploaded some songs, some of which are not in my older library. I have tried to drag the file into the existing file, with the new songs, but it wants to erase the newer one.

Simply put, how can I just combine both without deleting anything? I use a macbook with the newest itunes and leopard OS if that helps.

Any advice is quite appreciated

    Open iTunes.

    File > Add to library...

    You will get a file dialog. Navigate to where the other songs are.

    Click OK.

    They will load and be combined with your existing library.

    try copying the songs from the cds into the itunes folder of the computing gadget first. then you definately would be waiting to tug them into the truthfully itunes application. The itunes song folder on a working laptop or computing gadget is placed below song>itunes>itunes media>song.

    hm, I'm a bit confused about this.

    so you have two different computers or two different itunes?

    or do you have music files and then itunes? also, do you have a mac or a pc?
