transfering iTunes purchases

Does anyone know how to transfer songs purchased on another computer to my new macbook pro? I thought that if I went back to the song and clicked buy it would recognize that i have bought it before but it doesn't. any suggestions?

You can authorize more than one computer to play your iTune purchases. Copy the songs to an external source and then connect the external source to your new computer. After copying to your new computer you will need to authorize the computer using iTunes. There probably is way to directly copy from old computer to new computer directly. Maybe "migration assistant"? Here is a link: Mac OS X 10.5 Help: Using Migration Assistant to transfer files

If you go to the iTunes store i think you can buy them again without the DRM.

I got a message from Apple saying it would only cost me £1. to do all mine.

Give it a try you never know.

Or get sinuti and copy all the songs from your ipod to Itunes

macgirl,

just did this last night. from pc to mbp. make sure Itunes is updated. also "Authorize Computer" in Itunes

1. open Itunes and make sure Itunes is not set up to auto-sync

2. plug-in ipod (that contains purchased songs) in new mbp

3. once ipod shows up in itunes, go to File-->Transfer Purchase from Ipod

voila!!
