Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll lock this up and/or delete it once it's answered, but I figured you guys wouldn't mind if I spammedup the forum with one of my questions just this once. whee

I have one computer at my house.
It's super glitchy.
My dad has finally decided to do an complete system wipe and essentially erase and reconfigure everything from the computer; y'know, start fresh with a "brand new" computer.

I'm getting a little worried about my iTunes library, though. I was curious if anyone knew anything regarding moving my iTunes (the files downloaded directly from the iTunes Music Store, anyway) onto another hard drive. Would it be as easy as storing my songs onto a flashdrive, installing iTunes onto the fresh computer, and moving said songs back onto the computer?

I'm just afraid that once I blow up the computer and copypasta everything onto the (again) "new" one, the songs won't work because they were downloaded on the previous one. Or would authorizing the new computer to work with my existing account fix all that?

Pretty broad (or general xd ) question, I know, but I thought someone could help me out. Any info is appreciated, seeing as though I'd much rather trust you all than some silly FAQ I Googled.

Thanks!

Im pretty sure you can just transfer your library.

Also.

Your ipod is essentially a big flash drive with a headphone jack, so you should be able to plug in your ipod and take the library straight from that.
