Transferring iTunes to another computer. HELP!?

Question

I got a new PC [my other computer is also a PC] & I want to transfer my iTunes from my old computer to my new one. I tried putting it on a memory stick, but it didn't work the way I did it & now I'm confused. Could someone please explain to me how to transfer my iTunes to my new computer? Thanks so much in advance.

One of the easiest ways to move your iTunes library is by use software to copy the contents of your iPod to a new computer. There are a number of these iPod copy or iPod transfer programs.

ITunes offers a built-in back up tool that you can find in the File menu. Just go File - > Backup to Disc.

This method will back up your full library (with the exception of audio books from Audible.com) to CD or DVD. All you need are blank discs and some time.

However, if you’ve got a big library, or a CD burner rather than a DVD burner, this will take many, many CDs. This may not be the most efficient way to back up, since you’ve already got hard copies of the CDs you’ve added.

If you’ve got a DVD burner, this will make more sense, as a DVD can hold the equivalent of nearly 7 CDs.
