iPod IPOD - HELP PLEASE !

[sib2332]

I have a problem and i'd really appreciate some expert (!) advice.

I have an IMAC at home which i use to run ITUNES but for personal reasons i've sold this ....

I will be taking order soon of an ibook G4 but there will be a period of time when i have no computer at all.

Therefore i need to know how i go about storing my itunes music collection somehwere / somehow safe so that i can tf the library straight on to my applebook.

If i plug my IPOD in to a brand new ibook will the music automatically tf from the 'pod' or do i need to store somewhere and tf to the hard drive of the new lap top.
oh and it goes without saying i need to work on a budget...

You need third-party software.

When you sync with iTunes its gonna automatically delete any song thats not on the computer. I recommend the forums at www.ipodlounge.com

You could use the iPod itself as an external hard drive – copy the music files themselves from your Mac onto the iPod and then, when you get your new Mac, copy them into your new Music folder.
