iTunes question

**DaGeek** · 03-07-2010, 09:53 PM

I have a laptop with Windows 7 on it, and I installed iTunes on it to use with my iPod (fancy that...). I have a library of 600+ songs on another computer, and I wanted to put it on my new computer, so I tried transferring from my iPod to the new computer's iTunes in-program, and it simply won't let me (except for "purchases," which isn't much of my library. I acquired all the other songs legitimately and legally, but it won't let me put them on my new PC). Is there any way to get it to do so so I can take my music to Iraq?

You could use an iPod ripper or even just use the iPod as an external HD in the first place. Delete all files from it, then transfer the actual files onto it, as you would with a normal flash drive or EHD. And then transfer them on the other computer.

Copy/paste with an eternal hdd would be what I would do, just copy your entire iTunes folder in my music, and you should keep all if your song info too(like playcount and such)

Cool deal, I'll try it.

If you've got the discs, though it may be time consuming, re-ripping may be your only option.

After some hassle, I was able to copy my iTunes folder and paste it in my other PC, and it worked out, so I'm content. I also bought myself a 320GB HDD to help facilitate this (and 'cause I wanted one

), so I think it's win-win!

Sweet.
Glad I could be of service
