Can you transfer your itune song collection from one pc to another?
We've just bought a new pc. Our old one has all my songs from from my cd collection on its hard drive. I used itunes for my ipod to do this. It took me two days to upload my 200 + cds. Can I somehow transfer my music to the new pc in a less painful fashion? Or will I have to redo all the uploading again?
My itunes file is 13.13 gb.
Can you fit all that on a memory stick?

just copy and paste

Just did the same myself recently - I had already copied the "My Music" folder to a USB hard drive as back-up anyway, so I just connected that to the new PC and dragged the i-tunes file to the correct location.
You'll have problems doing it using a memory stick, as the total file size is too great for most memory sticks - the biggest readily available are 4 GB. You might be able to do it in smaller chunks, but that will mean a lot of plugging & unplugging of sticks.
You'll have to authorise your new PC if you have an i-tunes account, and also synchronise your i-pod to the new PC at some point - it will delete everything it has stored, and then re-load them, even if the actual list hasn't changed, as the i-pod can only be synchronised with one computer at a time.

so on start, go into 'my computer', then your user area, then 'music' in music there should be an itunes folder and inside that you should find your music library which you can copy and paste onto your new computer (with a memory stick or something equivalent)
That may be a problem then... possibly invest in a small external hard drive that can plug into your usb or something. it may come in useful for other things too.

If you keep your music organized, it'll be easy, just copy and paste. You're going to have a hard time if you scatter your music throughout your computer buddy.
