HELP, we bought a new lap top and are wanting to transfer all of our itunes music from our old computer. How do we do this? We purchased a zip drive thinking we could transfer it that way but no luck so far anyone have any help? What do we need to do??

You can put all of your music into a zip folder and upload the zip file to http://adrive.com/. then just download it onto your new computer.

If you don't have a CD or DVD Burner to make a backup of your music try a USB Thumbdrive

Thanks everyone!
Yes I have checked on Itunes for info but have yet come across on puter transfers. I keep getting how to transfer music to your ipod.
I purchased a zip drive but it was just a 2GB and wasn't big enough to transfer completely over.
We have around 9/10 GB of music on our old computer so transferring to disc would take forever wouldn't it?
I think I will try the upload to a zip file, I hope that does the trick.
And yes itunes is a PAIN!!
thanks again everyone!

The easiest way is to hook both up to your router and then just transfer them across on the network.
