New Computer Question

ok so i just got a new laptop and I want to put the songs that i had downloaded from the itunes store onto this new computer. I know it is possible to do because I have done it before I just dont remember how. I know it has something to do with authorizing the computer and I have done that but I cant remember what else you have to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have iTunes 7 on the new system, you now have the ability to move your purchases from the iPod to the new computer. When your dock the iPod, you should get a message that says something to the effect that purchased content has been detected on the iPod that is not in iTunes, do you want to transfer to iTunes?

Well it depends on if you want to transfer your playlists and personal settings like volume-adjusting, start/stop time etc.
If not, you are good to go.
You may want to remove authorizing on your old computer after copying your songs.
If you also want your playlists and personal settings, just export the library from the file-menu,
and then import it from the file-menu on your new computer.

I'm not sure this works in Windowz; but maybe it's possible to copy and replace the hole iTunes folder from your old computer. Must be the same iTunes version on computers.

NB! This will of course delete all your songs on your new computer, but you will keep all your
Album Artworks and all other info like "date added", "times played" and equalizer settings.

Hope this helps.
