Will it drag through my library though? Artwork etc? Any songs I've bought off there?

I think I just selected the itunes folder and copy and it worked including the songs and Lost episodes I had bought through iTunes.

Artwork is all there too. Think I only had about 3GB but still took a few hours

Daft question, does iTunes keep all my music in the same folder?

If I download stuff (like a torrent) it stays in that folder. Does iTunes make a copy?

Update your iPod - download it from iPod to new iTunes.

You'll have to register that computer for use with your paid for songs though.

Yes.

Not sure where it is on a PC, but on my Mac it puts all the songs into one folder. Think artwork is there too - but iTunes finds any albums without artwork automatically now anyway.

It only puts them all in one folder if the option is selected.
Preferences -> Advanced.
"Keep iTunes Music Folder Organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder".
If the latter one isn't ticked, tick it and then go File -> Library -> Consolidate Library and it'll copy them all into one folder for you.

New problem

Apparently there isn't enough space to consolodate my library

What I don't understand is where all my memory has gone It's not a massive hard drive but apparently I've only got 5gb remaining

The folder with all my stuff in is 10 gig

I've deleted stuff but I can't understand how it is full There's nowt on it hardly

Download this program, gives you a visual representation of where the space is going on the HDD, you can delete files from there too. May find its unzipped files etc thats doing it.
