ive been told that there is a code for your itunes account so that nomatter which itunes you use as long as you put this 'code' in it should move all you songsover, i tried this with my home comp and my laptop, but guess what, didnt work, i think its only for songs bought using itunes, anyhoo i ended up saving all my songs to a pen drive and after a few trips i had them all on, bout 1k songs in total, roughly, but theyre all on now anyway and thats the main point

man. that stinks. So you think i can load them all on a flash drive or somethin? or do you think i can copy my whole music folder and send it via email?

i did the whole thing via flash, took about an hour and then had to convert them a to i tunes format cos none of my songs are bought from itunes, lol, i didnt think of the email option, but it might be a bit too big to send via email, but i guess you could send a load of emails , pobably easier than my flash stick idea, go for it

plus if you have all your songs in your inbox then its easier to put them on any comp because you can access it from anywhere right?, or .......

yea using the flash drive means.............i have to go buy a flash drive. lol and none of my songs are from itunes either. only videos. Do you know if you can send a whole folder full of music through email without sending them separately? i used to have music on media player and when i got itunes i wanted to transfer and it said i had to do it song by song. so i just put in cds all day. it sucked.

lol, yea it is tedious, i was gonna say if you dont have a flash you could put em on cd, but it looks like youve tried that, erm im not sure how much an email can hold, you should test it, try and put a fair few vids an a folder and email them, and see if it send and if you can take em off on your other comp, but other than transfering them like ive done theres not much mor advice i can give you, if you cant think of an easier way, its kinda best to just get it done the hard way then its done

yea i guess when i get home from work ill try emailing. but most likely i feel like im going to have to rip each cd one by one. that took me 2 days last time. it sucked

lol, biggest annoyance for me was recreating my playlists as i couldnt figure out how to transfrer them, lol, went through all my songs pickin out and recreating them lol, fun fun fun
