Backing Up itunes
I'm getting a new computer and I need to back up the whole library to a DVD-R, I was wondering if the lyrics, artwork, etc. comes with it or am I going to have to redo everything?

Lyrics and artwork will transfer if you do it correctly.
First run "Consolidate" for your library on the old computer. Then copy the whole iTunes folder to the medium you are going to use (DVD, external hard drive, or whatever). The iTunes folder contains the library files as well as the songs, so it will all be there when you add it to the new computer.
