What's the earliest version of iTunes in which you can do this? I ask
because I'm running under MacOS 9.2.2 (I know, I know...). I lost some
playlists in the process of trying to move/install my iTunes on a
different drive, so this could be useful to me, depending on how
version-specific this tip is.
Thanks,
Jim
