If you continue to work with itunes, be sure to save backups of iTunes Library.itl, iTunes library.xml, extras and genius.itdb. Save and compress them every other day religiously if you plan on editing your iTunes. They come in handy to quickly go back to a previous state. ---

> [@D\_eight6](#): > > IF this itunes library also contains audio podcasts or audiobooks, just point to those folders when you create separate music libraries for those in Plex. Good point. Annoyingly some of them are actually classified as in “Music” despite being in podcast section of itunes. I have several state backups in case something goes ary here. I did a quick test, importing new library - music - ticked advanced, and import itunes - had the general itunes folder stuff in there on Plex, special folder, but it didn’t seem to pick anything up? No ratings, etc. no prompt came up to confirm Itunes etc. ---
