iTunes Library Manager v5.2 is now available.
iiTunes Library Manager makes back up copies of the current iTunes Music Library database file and iTunes Preferences, allowing you to maintain two or more libraries each with its own preferences settings.
For example, you can have one “Main Library” which contains all your songs and playlists, and another which just contains your “Holiday Music” songs and playlists.
Additionally, because each library is saved and loaded with its associated preferences, you can create many different configurations for different uses. For instance, you can assign each library its own designated Music Folder, and keep a directory of audio files on your computer and another distinct directory of audio files on another volume, network drive or external drive; different libraries can have different Sharing, Burning or Importing settings, too. The flexibility is awesome.
Updated in v5.2:
- Compatible with iTunes 8
- Recognizes–but does not manage–iTunes’ multiple-libraries; however, such libraries can be the basis for additional iTLM libraries
- Some GUI enhancements
- Speed and performance fixes
This is a free update for registered users.

iTunes Library Manager has been updated to version 5.1. This is really just a maintenance release to make the GUI compatible with Mac OS X 10.5. However, I did add a “Check For Updates” menu option so that it no longer automatically checks for updates at startup. More to come in the next update, perhaps a month or so from now.
