Title: No, I haven't got a new iPod
Post by: Rik on Dec 25, 2010, 11:53:19
But I did win the laptop and was wondering if there's an easy way to transfer the iTunes library from one (Windows) computer to another?

On a related note, how do you transfer files from one iPod to another iPod?  Is it simply a question of syncing the new iPod with an existing iTunes library?

There is no limit to the number of devices you can sync with a single iTunes library, and you can have 5 authorised machines (PC) for one iTunes account.

When I got a new computer about this time last year i copied my itunes library folder across to my new computer and then through itunes store i selected the new computer as one of my authorised devices (and then unauthorised my old computer).  It all seemed to work without any hassle.
