from old computer to new computer? or do you mean like from an Ipod to new computer?

If from computer to computer, your best bet would be to buy an external hard drive. Dump all your songs onto it from the one computer, then just plug it into the other one. Or just burn a lot of cd's.

If from ipod. I don't think you can pull songs off the ipod with itunes, but I know you can with winamp.

well you need to buy that double usb cable with the software cd and then you could transfer whatever you want

you also have to authorize the new computer for purchased music, it should be in one of the menus on the top (I think its in advanced)

you can actually transfer all your music from your ipod to a different computer. you open up the computer window, then right click ur ipod drive, n click on open as portable music device. then u double click the ipod hard drive folder n then u open up ipod control. then you'll c the music folder(s) u open em up n you'll c all these files with #'s that's your music. n just transfer it. or you can open em up the same way through itunes. just go to transfer folder n then follow these directions.

If you've purchased the tracks, iTunes will automatically transfer them from your iPod.

There is software actually a couple you can use called Tunes Plus that i used just put everything on the Ipod and then put it on the next computer.

I hate Itunes, I've started to use Winamp for music and love it. So much simpler and easier to use. Sorts the music so much better too.
