Answer

You can actually do it with your iPod, as long as you still have the songs on your old computer, and the best part is you dont even have to download anything. Heres how in easy stepsbrbr. When your iPod is plugged into iTunes on your old computer, check off the box that says quotenable disk usequot. Then you can add music to it using Windows Explorer.brbr. Find your iPod in windows explorer. Drag your music from your iTunes library into your iPod, using windows explorer. If you dont have enough space, restore your iPod, dont add any songs back thru iTunes, and start again at step . brbr. In your new computers iTunes, go EditgtPreferencesgtAdvancedgtGeneral, and check off the box that says quotCopy files to iTunes music folder when adding to libraryquot. You have to do this step or else iTunes will not be able to find the songs when your iPod is unplugged.brbr. Then plug your iPod in, and drag the songs into iTunes from their location in Windows Explorer.brbr. Now sync your iPod to the new computer. brbrP.S. if you bought some of the songs through the iTunes Store, iTunes will tell you that the songs are quotnot authorizedquot to play on your new computer. To fix this, all you have to do is attempt to play one of the songs in iTunes, and then sign in using the account that you purchased the songs with.brbrYou can disable disk use now if you want, or leave it on if you have enough room. brI recommend leaving it on if you can, because its a very good way to back up your songs if your computer breaks. br
