How do I transfer my song iTunes library

Does your Dad’s computer have a DVD burner? If so, you could use one of the slick iTunes export utilities to pull them out of iTunes, then burn them onto DVD.

Hmmm, so how many would DVDs would you need?


Let’s see… 1700 songs at an average song size of 4MB means your 1700 song library takes up 6.8GB. An average DVD disk holds about 4GB so you should be in good shape with two DVDs for the entire music library. Not too bad.

Or, if you can afford it, go buy an external 30GB disk or larger, drag and drop your entire iTunes Library onto the disk, then import it when you get to your Moms house.

Checking CompUSA, they have a nice looking Buslink 60GB external USB 2.0 Drive for $128. Not a bad price!

To look for export utilities, by the way, I encourage you to pop over to VersionTracker and search for ‘itunes’. There are plenty of options available.

Hope that helps you get things worked out!
