Selling Itouch songs on?

I want to sell my Itouch but do I have to take the songs off there that I have purchased?

thanks

Depends. Where/how are you selling it? If it is 'cash in hand', I would let the other party 'delete' the songs , but if it was eBay, I would personally do a reset of the device to factory settings, so they get it fresh and you know your personal details aren't at as much risk.

Beat me to it Bowling LOL:
The songs will automatically be deleted when they conect ti Itunes as it will be syncing to a diferent library.
(Unless they backthem up with sharepod etc 1st)

thanks both, not sure yet just made a decision and then thought would i need to. I'm guessing then it would be pointless keepign them on there if it syncs and loses them anyway.

will do a restore like you say with my settings being on there.

thanks

You can, using certain software, copy songs off the iTouch before syncing it with iTunes, so if you know what you're doing, there is an advantage to buying the player with songs on it. I know someone *cough cough* who did exactly this. Not sure if eBay would look kindly on this though.

it's not a problem just wondered if it was a must or something that it would have to be cleared.

thanks for your replies..:)

Of course, you have to delete all the music on the iPod if you keep a copy of it on your hard disc. Isn't this common sense?
