779738 2009-06-04 22:34:00 How do I backup the iTunes purchased songs to an external HDD? I have tried the File - Library - Backup to Disc utility only to produce several coasters with unknown Error 4450. Have tried different brand CDs/DVDs with the same error.

Managed to use the File - Library - Export Library option to save a copy of the Library.xml but how do I know that my songs are backup properly? Could not find any 'Import' option in iTunes.

Does the 'Library' include my purchased songs?

Edited: you can do the same for backing up to CD, just burn the songs as you would with any other file.

I have purchased music on this PC,and copied to one server, all the Authrozied PC's can play from the server if I want.
