    You don't have to do anything special. It's the Itunes account that has to be authorized on a computer. The specific Ipod does not have to be. I just did the resent (hold center key and outside key until apple comes up on screen) and that did it all.

    You should spend some time figuring out how to deauthorize those other 3 computers so anyone with your former computer can't access your purchased music.
