Drag and drop is still the best way to move files to an external device, I'd imagine Apple have moved hell and earth to ensure this most simple and effective way can not be done with their gear.

Re - encoding is necessary if the files in WMP are .WMA otherwise re-encoding is not necessary.

597510 2007-10-03 06:05:00 All I ask is - is there anything I should know or do before going ahead putting songs and other stuff on? I just don't wanna mess it up... :)

Whatever happened to good old-fashioned RTFM? :rolleyes:

597511 2007-10-03 06:15:00 Knowing what I know now - the best advice I can possibly give is to say make sure you know where you want your songlist to end up on the hard drive. After about a year I decided to move my songs to another partition -- ie from my C drive to my D Drive. Superficially it is easy but in the end cost me countless hours. So really be sure where you want to keep. :blush:

Also, the earlier suggestion made that you decide now on whether to use AAC, MP3 or lossless. You don't want to make the change later. If I had my time over it would be lossless. :cool:

597514 2007-10-03 07:30:00 Ah, yeah...thanks for your helpful comments guys. I've just had to reimport my entire iTunes library because it wasn't in the iTunes Music folder, but the My Music folder, and I wanted to keep it organised....

What's so great about lossless?
Chris815 (10270)
597515 2007-10-03 08:04:00 Uh its lossless as in the quality is not diminished when you convert it into the other codec. beeswax34 (63)
