I have a very slow computer at home and its hard to download songs. I use another computer at my other house because its a lot faster. Well, I was wondering, how can I transfer all 300 songs from my fast one to my slow one at home? I mean..I know some ways...but I just want to get a good answer. Thanks

If your computer has a CD burner, make a CD of the music. Make sure that you make a data CD, not a music CD. data CDs can carry up to 800 MB of music (usually) while music CDs hold a maximum of 20 (if you're lucky).\nOtherwise MP3 players or flash drives are a good choice too.

Itunes allows you to put the songs on up to 5 computers if I remember correctly...if you only need it for one additional you are definately safe!

Hate to say it, but you'll have to upload it as you did on your home computer. Apple created the feature on iPods to only allow access music from the iPod to one computer. However, you can transfer music in several ways:\n\n1. Do it manually, gather all your CDs again and just upload music onto your computer at work.\n\n2. Just hook-up your iPod to your work computer and play your music that way.\n\n3. Download software to rip music from your iPod to your work computer (there's some free software, just google for it).\n\n4. Burn Data discs of your music. In iTunes, go to Edit --> Preferences -->Advanced --> Burning and change your disc format to Date Disc. This will allow you to burn a CD (the same way you burn a music disc) of your music, but it just has the music FILES, not music like a CD. You can fit about 650 MB worth of music onto a CD. \n\nHope this helps.

There is something called a data transfer cable... \nalso known as File Transfer/ Data link Cable \nThis basically is a cable that connects the TWO computers together and all you have to do is drag and drop...\n\n(safer than cut and paste in case for something the transfer got interrupted.)\n\nWhat i suggest you do is simply drag and drop 500 at a time (u said you have over 4000) \n\nThis way your computer wont freeze up for having to be under the strain of such a large file transfer!\n\nOn e-Bay you could get them real cheap... for a couple of dollars...

Check this out ... Extract from\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=159372&start=0&tstart=0\nOption 1:\nAssuming you're moving files legally between your own computers, check out iPodAgent at http://www.ipodsoft.com/\n________________________________\nOption 2:\nThe manual way around this problem is to use the iPod in its alter ego - that of portable computer disk drive. Successfully tested under iTunes for Windows 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7; Windows XP Home.\n\n- Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET\n- open iTunes\n- open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running\n- connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing\n- open 'My Computer'\n- Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'\n- open iPod icon in My Computer\n- open iPod_Control folder\n- you should see a folder named Music\n- drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive\n- after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'\n- clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'\n- Close that explorer window\n- eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.\n- disconnect the iPod from the computer\n\n- go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window\n- File menu &#92; Add folder to Library &#92; find that Music folder copied over from the iPod\n\nYour iTunes library should be back in action! But wait - there's more!!\n\nLong time forum regular Otto42 has a java script/program that can also retrieve the playlists themselves from the iPod as well. Here are his instructions and a link to the most recent thread discussing this tricky process:\n\n] This is really useful when you're pulling all the songs off of an iPod to put them back into iTunes, because you lost your library or anything along those lines. Come up with your own reason for using it.\n\n] Download this program:\nhttp://otto.homedns.org:8888/iTunes/iPodGetXML.zip \n(If you can't download it, try again later. The connection goes up and down a lot.)\n\n] Now, put the iPod into Disk Mode or otherwise access the iPod as a drive. Make sure you can see hidden files, then go to the drive and the iPod_Control folder and find the iTunesDB file. Copy it to your PC.\n\n] Put the copied iTunesDB file in the same directory as this program, then run the program. It'll read the iTunesDB, get all the playlists, and create an XML file for each one. Now just import those XML files into iTunes to recreate the playlists.\n\n] Notes:\n- The songs in playlist must already be in the iTunes library. If any one of them isn't there, iTunes throws up an error when you try to import the XML file.\n- The song names, artist names, and album names in the library all must be identical as to what the iPod has. If you just copied all the music off the iPod and into iTunes, this will be the case, so it's generally not a big deal. but you'll get an error if it can't find the song in the iTunes library, so it's something to keep in mind.\n- It probably won't be able to cope with unusual characters in song names. Sorry, not worth my time to fix. Dealing with unicode is way annoying.\n- Smart Playlists get changed into regular playlists. It's *possible* for me to add the smart playlist stuff in there, but it'll take a while to work it all out.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOriginal thread for Otto42's playlist recovery: http:

what i do is go into windows media player and hit F3 and it will come up with a box that says something like search current files, new files or both. I search the computer, it picks up the stuff in Limewire then I put the songs I want on my burn list and burn the songs.\nAny questions email me... ohio_chick101405@yahoo.com

Yeah, the CD or DVD option is best. The email idea will be unspeakably slow and cumbersome for more than about 3 songs, and the networking option can get complex.  \n\nOne more thing. You may want to "deauthorize" the old machine in iTunes.  The iTunes licence allows you to play songs on up to five separate machines.  If you are selling the old one, you want to take it off this list. The "advanced" menu in iTunes should have the option I'm talking about.

do you mean rip the music onto your computer, burn the music onto another CD, or remove a song from a CD that you just burned? \n\nYou cannot remove music from the actual CD, btw. Once it's there it's there for good. Try getting a new blank CD

If you're using windows then you'll want to use the Media Player. It's not only as fast as any other program, it doesn't cost you any money cause you already have it. It's inherantly more stable since it's already built into the OS. You can save your files as either WMA or MP3 in the options. But don't make the mistake A LOT of people make and--Well, let me start over--Media player (by default) adds copy right protection to your music files. If you don't disable it from the options then you won't be able to share or use your music files anywhere but on your computer. Hope that helps. :)

you would need to share the folder you have in your music in and also pipe the sound from that computer to your input on your sound system, better system would use terminal server a rdp into your main computer and access the app and music and sound from the main computer.

Actually if you have different profiles set up on your machine then you'll be ok.  My wife and I have an iPod each and since we have different profiles on the machine we are able to sync our own without crossing over each others music.  That's the easiest way I know.

Deleting your iTunes music from your computer won't make your computer run any faster.  It sounds like another problem to me (spyware, maybe).\n\nRemember that if you delete your 345 iTunes files permanently, you'll lose $342 worth of music.  I would recommend that you back-up your m4p's before you do that.

First off, download and install iTunes on the new computer:\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/itunes/download/\n\nYou can run it to make sure that you're installed properly, but quit it before continuing.\n\nNext, burn the folder "iTunes" (on the Mac, found in the "Music" folder of your home directory) to a CD or DVD.  Take the CD/DVD to the new computer (or, use the network to transfer the folder) and put it in the same location on the new computer, replacing any existing "iTunes" folder (assumes that you have no new or unique music on this new computer.)\n\nYou should now see your music when you run iTunes.  If you don't, go to the Preferences command and in the Advanced tab (General subtab) select the correct location of the iTunes folder you copied onto this new computer.\n\nHope that helps!

Ok, I have heard of this before, what you need to do is goto a nextel dealer and ask them for a data cord. It comes in usb or serial (usb is faster). That cord will hook from your computer to your cell phone. Also you need a specific software for the computer to transfer the songs over. I belive you can use "myJAL". Just goto yahoo and search for the software. Hope this helps you out!
