You transfer music between two computers, just like you transfer documents, pictures or video.
Either you make a local network between both :
- If both have an Ethernet connector, you just need a cheap "cross-over" or "twisted" Ethernet cable.
- If both have a Wifi card, you can make a local wireless network.
If both are in a network and sharing playlists is switched on in iTunes, then you can listen to tracks from another computer, without copying the music.
When you do not want or can not make a local network, you need to transfer the files via a portable medium : a USB stick, a CD disc, a removable hard drive. (Uploading them to the internet, or mailing them to yourself is also possible, but not practical for thousands of files.)
If you have an iPod with enough free space, you can use that as a removable hard drive.
Connect it to the computer BUT NOT WITH ITUNES, just drag the music to and from the hard disc.
Eventually you can empty the iPod first to make room, before copying everything to the same computer and then fill it with iTunes again.
Hope this helps.
