The quickest route Ankur would probably be to drag in your music to the other library containing the backups. Be careful with your iPhone backups. I haven’t played around with restoring a backup from a downgraded iTunes so your milage may vary.

Thank you for writing about this! I was holding back on installing the beta despite my need to develop for iOS5 because I didn’t want it to touch my iTunes library.

Question: How much do you know about the logistics of backing up, moving, merging, and possibly splitting iTunes libraries? I have an iTunes library on one machine from which I would like mostly everything (except 50% of the music I don’t listen to anymore) including the Apps, the iPhone backups, etc. I have a second iTunes library that doesnt sync with my iPhone but I would like all the rest of the media in that. I want to merge the two (which discarding the music I don’t want anymore) and put them on one machine. I would then upgrade to a beta iTunes library and hopefully as you described above still have the ability to roll back to a stable version.
