Will my iTunes library be accessible to others if it is stored on my USB but I use it on a public computer?
Here is a summary . . .
In short, I own an iPod Touch, but I do not have nor have I had access to iTunes for a couple years now. I'm rather knowledgeable in terms of how iTunes works. Basically, any device manufactured by Apple can use only iTunes to sync/transfer data between it and iTunes with a computer or PC (at least to my knowledge). My problem is that I have no PC or computer that is privately owned that I can use to store/sync data on/with iTunes; the only way I could do so is if I use a public computer, such as one available at a library.
Obviously, it is never recommended to access personal data on a public computer, but when you have been going 2+ years without a computer to simply put songs on an iPod whose music library has been empty for the same amount of time, you're likely to become pretty desperate to get at least some songs on there, am I right?
My plan of operations was to utilize my USB to download the iTunes software from the library computer onto the USB, then open iTunes from my USB and download songs to my USB that are accessed via iTunes. The premise behind all this is that anything stored on my USB can be accessed by only me, so if I were to download songs from a computer to my USB and download the iTunes software to my USB, then sync my USB-based songs to my USB-based iTunes software, I could theoretically work around the risk of having my personal data be made accessible to the other users of the public computer. It seems pretty simple in that everything to which I need access is accessible all on my USB, so no one else has access to it; similarly, no data would be inadvertently copied or distributed to the public computer since my activities are USB-based. But what I am unsure about is if my personal data would be made accessible to others even with this strategy, or if there is some mistake or misunderstanding with iTunes and it copies everything. I am aware that I am limited to the amount of computers I can authorize with which I can use iTunes. I don't know if iTunes would recognize the same computer after I log-off of it or once after it shuts down and I use it another day; that scenario is one that I've just thought of as I type this.
I'm just so desperate to put songs on there; as of right now, I have a work-in-progress list of songs that I started years ago, and it totals to 300+ songs. I'm tired of listening to songs on YouTube or via inadequate "offline song-downloader" apps, and I'm also tired of not being able to listen to anything on-the-go if there's no WiFi me. This strategy that I have put much thought into seems to be a plausible method to get some tunes onto my iPod, but I just don't know if there is some flaw in it that I have missed or not thought about (yet). It seems to me like it really would work, but I'd much appreciate any and all input from anyone.
For those of you who are asking yourselves why I just haven't bought a PC, my answer to you is that the city I live in ***** and there are virtually no employment opportunities for a young man with limited work experience. Also, these places out here are tight-knit family communities that hire only people within their social circles and not anyone else. My family is not affluent or wealthy, so I can't go to my siblings or parents to ask them to get me one.
What do you guys think? I am hesitant to try this out for the first time without knowing what I would be getting my self into.
