Does anyone know if it is possible to move an itunes library from one pc to the other? Or if it is possible to move everything from your ipod onto a new, empty itunes library you have on a pc?

Thanks for any help.

    there is a way, you basicly use the ipod as a disk drive, google ipod transfer there are programs you can buy but i did it another way, your ipod files are read only, you need to change this, i can't remember how else but google and it can be done. sorry i'm not much help.

    It is possible to back up your library onto dvd-r discs and then transfer them to another pc. I did this once and you can fit about 1000 songs onto each dvd-r. Hope this helps.

    Just put the dvd-r in and follow the instructions, I was concerned at first it wouldn't work, but it is quite easy.

    i had this problem some time back.. i bought a 80gb external hard drive off ebay for £20 and i still use it as my back up for music/pictures :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Thanks very much for everyone's help, thats great. All my music is still on my parents computer back home but i have moved twice, and have only this week managed to get a pc into my own abode so will need to get this sorted. Thanks again.
