How do I export my itunes library to a new computer (without having the files)? ?

Question

ok so most of the stuff I have on my ipod doesnt exist on my computer anymore; but by keeping the files ticked in itunes it doesnt delete them from my ipod...

sooo... if I download itunes on my new computer and connect my ipod it will remove all the contents... and thats the problem

* if I export and import my library it'll just say that the files cant be found

any ideas?

Answer 1

There's a great bit of software called Senuti (which is iTunes spelled backwards - for a very good reason) which allows you to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. This should solve all your problems.

Answer 2

i think it's only possible if you have payed for all of your songs from itunes and not downloaded them off of limewire or something

Answer 3

ya if you dont have the files on your comp it will say they cant be found and they wont work you will have to redownload
