got a quick ipod question for you...
my daughter already has an ipod nano
we have bought her an ipod touch for her birthday in a couple of weeks
currently, all her music is stored on my desk top pc
but i would like her to be able to connect her new ipod touch with her own laptop
so what is the best way to transfer the music from my pc to her laptop?
aside from burning each individual cd again, i'm guessing via a memory stick, right??
then she will hopefully be able to log on to her itunes account via her own laptop, and have all her music there ready to sync with her new ipod touch
i hope !!:rolleyes:

Or if that all looks too complicated, an external hard drive might be a simpler solution. A memory stick is unlikely to be big enough. She wants to copy the iTunes folder from inside My Music, from the desktop, to the same place on the laptop. Install iTunes on the laptop before doing this. This will preserve her artwork, ratings and play count too.0
