itunes

[Scarlett]

I am about to get a new PC. What do I do about my itunes account? How can I make sure I don't lose all the songs I have bought?

Copy all your songs onto a disc , including bought ones.

Get your new computer, install iTunes, and authorise it with your account (advanced menu I think).

Copy your music across, make sure it all plays as before.

Deauthorise old computer.

How do I save all the songs to a CD? Do you mean a data disc, not burn each song?

I was about to ask a similar question. Not changing PC's but changing bradband provider. Will it still store all my stuff on PC?

See this about transfering music across:

(The first paragraph links to another article about copying music to a DVD; this is what I meant above.)

That is a great link- but how do I actually get itunes on my new pc? I can't actually remember where I downloaded it from! Is it linked with my ipod disc set up? Or is there a website you go to put it on your new PC?

You should have got a disk with your iPod or direct from the Apple site:
