This is my mates album from last year...
There's a couple of rather fun animated videos for the songs too:
My Beautiful You: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aaNM1P_SsC4

Last 3 albums... Page 3
I download most of my music these day, so seldom buy albums, but I have a couple of CD I'm desperate to listen to, but my iTunes is buggered.
Has anyone got any suggestions for moving your iTunes to another pc. I bought a new laptop and thought I could just copy all the music from my old pc onto an external drive and place it in the iTunes folder of the laptop.
Tried this 3 times and now have triplicates of all my music in the iTunes library, but they won't sync with the iPod!

I had the same problem! iTunes buggered up my Cd drive too.
I would imagine the problem is that it's trying to protect copyright by not letting you transfer your iTunes library around for just anyone to use on their iPod.

Are they songs you purchased from the iTunes store? If so, they will only play on (up to) 5 machines which you have authorized. You can authorize/de-authorize machines from within iTunes.

Some are, but even they don't play, most are from Cd's that I ripped to disc.

I guess, don't say I have to re-rip them from the CD's - It took me months to do

I think I know, I just did it myself.
Make sure you have the up to date versions of iTunes on both computers (Itunes 9). This makes it easier. On your old PC, go into store and click authorise computer (don't panic if it says it's already done) then sync everything onto your iPod. Go onto your new pc and go into store and authorise computer. It will ask for your username and password (the one that you use on the old computer). Once that is done, plug in your ipod and it will take you step by step
The reason it may not be working is because if you don't authorise your computer, it will block it.
I've moved libraries around plenty of times on a Mac (just moved 350 gigabytes of songs to a new hard drive 2 days ago) and never had a problem. I have no experience with iTunes for Windows.
I'd do something like this:
Copy/back-up all your music files to a safe directory somewhere outside of iTunes' folder. Wouldn't want a mistake to delete everything.
Delete all the songs from your library via iTunes. Start with a clean slate.
Import all the songs via iTunes.
Authorize the new PC to play your purchased content.
Seems like that should work.
Wow! Techno-Roo!

The copy protection should only be on the music you purchased from iTunes. I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

I just love music that much, I kept trying!

The new version of iTunes has a short video, that plays when first installed, that explains how to copy/share you songs with other computers on the same network. 
Make sure you're not copying 'shortcuts' or 'links' of the files by mistake 
Quote: Curt @ September 29 2009, 1:30 PM BSTYou guys probably won't recognize any of these artists since all 3 are Canadian and I don't think they sell much outside of Canada.
The Tea Party and Rush are my fave Canadian bands.
Quote: Curt @ September 29 2009, 1:30 PM BSTProbably because I have habit of paying for Canadian music but not music from other countries.
I can relate to that.
I also have a habit of paying for small, indie bands' CD, if I have to choose between this and some giant's new CD...
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (my original quit working)
Ella Fitzgerald - The Complete Songbook Collection (yippee!)
