Getting my itunes off my computer

[Jersey Girl]

I downloaded a bunch of music at work since the computer here is faster than the one I have at home. Now that I am leaving this job, I need to get my music files. This suck computer does not have a CD burner, so am I screwed?

Yahoo has 2 or 3 GB of storage. You could email them to yourself 4 or 5 at a time. What about using some sort of FTP client to move the data?

I don't like DRM so I don't really use itunes. However based on what I've read, you can have songs you buy on up to five computers. So you should be able to copy songs like dreamcast said or with something like a pen drive.

How many GB are we talking?

A thumb/jump drive should do the trick over a couple of days.

IPOD Question

My wife has a Nano and so does my son, thanks to you guys. Question. How do I make sure if I'm loading music onto my son's IPOD that I don't load my wife's library onto his? That's exactly what happened last time and his library was erased. Do we need to use different computers for each IPOD?

Hold down the control button when you plug in your ipod until itunes is fully loaded and running - then change your preferences in itunes to "manually update library" or something like that. It shouldnt automatically upload after that.

here is a great forum for all your ipod/itunes questions: http://ipodgarage.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7699

you can use your IPOD to carry data too, I had to move to a new computer and I searched "new computer" on apple.com itunes help and it tells you how to do it. If you have several days left at your job you could do several runs...load 1/3 of the songs (via data like the instructions say) drop them at home, next day and so on.

Go into Itunes and goto Help search "new computer" (with the " ") and you should get 4 topics, the last two will tell you how to do it.

This is probably the best option assuming all your songs will fit on your ipod at once.

If not a thumb drive or external hard drive would be the next best option.
