I have recently got a new computer on xp and all my itunes library is saved on my old vista laptop. Is there a quick and easy way to transfer them without having to use a memory stick???
The 5 computer policy is only on a MAC. It only deals with music you have purchased and play through iTunes store. You can transfer those files, but they won't play because they are DRM protected through the iTunes account. Perhaps that is what the previous poster thought. To transfer the files from one computer to another without the need of a memory stick, you can purchase a computer-to-computer transfer cable at WalMart for $30 in the electronics section. It works via USB, it is fast and you will be glad you made the purchase.

Go your documents and then your music and you should see a folder called "iTunes", move that to your other computer using a flash drive or something along them lines.
