I'm upgrading my MBP to a bigger hard drive in a few weeks, and have already started backing up all my stuff. Here's my question: once I upgrade to a new hard drive, will my DRM iTunes-purchased music recognize my computer or will it consider it a new machine? Some of my music has already been on 5 computers, so this is an issue. Any help/tips are appreciated.

Best thing to do would be to de-authorize the computers you don't use or listen to your iTunes music on.
iTunes provides an option for you to remove authorization on all computers so that you can start fresh. I believe you are limited to doing this once every 6 months or so.
