i understand that the fastest way to move the library is to stream it across the network...exactly what files do i need to move and where do i go to find them and where do i put them?

and will doing it this way be faster than making data cds?

Just copy your iTunes library (find it using Windows Explorer or something) and then go to Network Places and copy it into the Shared Folder of your other computer. It will be faster than CD's, but depending on the size of your library, it could take a few hours.

you dont have to copy the folder, just right click and share it.

set up a home network, just make sure they are both in the same workgroup. Then go to network places on the client computer, find the share, and map it to a drive.

This is assuming both computers are on the same internal LAN
