Hi All,
My son-in-law has 10Gb of itune files on an old crashing laptop. I have backed up the C drive to a Maxtor external HD and intend to move the files onto the Maxtor today, but I have a question.
If I then transfer the itunes files to my PC, can I burn them to a dvd until he buys a new laptop. I have a dvd+/-drive, and is it legal to do this?
Thanks in advance,
pehouse05

Just do it...If you own them then you should have the right, but apples DRM may want otherwise...

Thanks crazylegs,
He owns them, but I can only find reference to movies when I Googled burning a dvd.
Cheers,

You should be able to copy the iTunes Music folder (My Documents>My Music>iTunes) to DVD and then when he puts iTunes back on his new PC place it back in the folder.

Hi All,
Found the problem with writing iTunes to DVD. My DVD +/- RW from eBuyer turned out not to detect DVD+RW. Have now burned Son-in-law's music files to 11 CD-Rs. I'm so confused with these formats but relieved to get it done.
Thanks for the advice,

Now i know what iTunes are, had a look on the net.
Might even go and buy an MP3 player and retire by old tape-walkman

Whats a tape walkman?

It's a portable audio cassette player that you plug headphones into.

Now then, don't you dare ask what an audio cassette is........
