Share iTunes playlist with another computer (Different account)

itunesmusicsharing

I want to share my playlist with my friend. He can give me his apple ID. I have a big playlist on my computer. I have not made any changes in the Preferences yet. Help appleseeds?

Drag the individual tracks to a USB key etc - this will initially lose the playlist data & only copy the tracks themselves.

To add an importable playlist to that, go to File > Library > Export Playlist, then save as M3U format & add to the USB key. Your friend can then add the entire playlist by dragging just the M3U file to his iTunes - the tracks will be copied in automatically.

Alternatively, you can export a playlist by burning to CD/DVD
Right click the playlist title & click Burn Playlist to Disk.
I'm not certain whether this will carry playlist information or just the tracks - it's been too long since I did it.

BTW - passing around AppleID information is really not recommended.
It's the way to lose control of your own devices, if ever used maliciously.
