I've not seen this hint anywhere else, but maybe I've just missed it. If you have an iTunes folder at home, and another at work, and you want to merge the two you can do the following: Copy the work iTunes folder onto your external drive. When you get home, load up iTunes on your home machine. Then use the Finder to open the iTunes folder on your external hardrive and the iTunes Music folder within that. This contains folders with each album (or playlist, depending on how you created it). Now just drag each folder into the playlist area of iTunes. iTunes creates a playlist with the name of that folder, and imports the tracks from the hardrive, maintaining their names etc. Works on iTunes 4.X under Panther.
