syncing folder contents

zipo_z · 10-29-2005, 03:30 PM

ok i hope im posting this in the write area. I started with one desktop pc and collected my music. then i purcased a lap top also running xp where i transfered my music folder( which has been organized into subcatagories by itunes i.e. artist/album/song) I since then added songs speratly to each . so i now have 2 libraries with different songs. I wanna join them so that i dont have duplicates of the songs i have on both. what is the best and most efficent way for me to do such a thing? Is it as simple as drag and droping the root file into the same directory as the other? will that only add the "new" songs?

thanks in advance

Why not just copy the contents of one folder into the other? Songs that are the same will either be overwritten or skipped, and your new songs will be added.
