You might be able to link the computers with a firewire chord. But i think the best thing to do is

1. get an external harddrive
2. Transfer all the songs from the itunes folder of computer 1 onto the external harddrive.
3. Then set your itunes on computer 2 to: Preferences -> Advanced (The far right tab) -> then check off “keep itunes music folder organized” and “copy files to itunes music folder”
4. plug the external harddrive into computer 2
5. on i tunes go to -> file -> “Add to Library”... find the external harddrive and select the folder with the music in it.

It might be annoying if u have doubles, but u can go to -> file -> show duplicates… then delete the ones you don’t want.

good luck
