Moving Music to New PC
20/01/10 21:18
Laptops seem to have been one of the big Christmas presents judging by the number of calls we’ve been receiving. When you upgrade to a new PC or laptop you have to move your music onto your new box.
Apple have now implemented a feature which allows you to bring back music you have purchased from iTunes Music Store from your iPod and into the music library on your new machine. However, before this will work, you need to link the PC with your Music Store details (user name and password). To do this go to the Store command in the main iTunes window and fill in the details from the authorise this PC command. If all you have on your iPod is purchased tracks then you will be OK.
If you have ripped music you will either need to move your music library across using, say, a USB hard drive or by taking all of your music off your iPod. You will need additional software to do this, we use and recommend XPlay which you can get from mediafour.com. This bypasses iTunes and turns your iPod into a hard drive. You will be given the option of opening your music files on the iPod, copying them, and saving them onto your new computer.
