What do I do now?

So I am in the same boat as everyone else who can't play their purchased music on their iPod after moving the library to another computer. The iPod just skips right over the purchased songs. I have searched these forums and tried all the attempts people have made. None work. I will be leaving for college shortly so I will no longer be able to update my iPod on my old computer (where the purchased songs work).

So does anyone have any advice for me? I can't just forget about all 285 of my purchased songs. This isn't the consumer's problem. Apple has a flaw and they're continuing to ignore it. I don't know what to do. Has anyone found the ultimate answer to this problem yet?
