How do I transfer music from work computer to Home?

My main iTunes library is located at home. Every day I go to work, plug my Nano into my work computer connect to iTunes and listen to music from my Nano.
Here's my problem. I like to download free songs of the week from iTunes to my computer at work. How do I move these downloaded songs to my computer at home? Thanks.

You could try to take them off your Nano--it's a little harder to move files from an iPod onto a computer but it can be done. I can't help you with this, I don't know how to do it, but if you search these forums there are lots of threads about how to do this.
To put a song file on a jump drive, open your iTunes folder (I assume this is where the file will be located) find the file folder for the artist you downloaded, then the album the song was on, and finally the song. Copy this to the jump drive.
Then, you'll need to copy this file to your home computer. Just reverse the steps. In your iTunes folder, make a folder for the artist, then one for the album, finally copy the song into this folder. Next, in iTunes, go to File > Add File to Library and navigate to this song file. When you click on the song for the first time to play it, you'll get a popup box asking if you want to authorize your computer to play the song. (You can authorize up to five computers to play downloaded songs--so make sure you're under this limit.)
That should do it.

  • Transfer music from work computer to home computer

    I have dial up (dsl unavailable) on my system at home. It takes 15+ minutes to download one song purchased on iTunes. I can download a song in 10 - 15 seconds at work. Is it possible to put the songs I've purchased and downloaded at work onto a flash drive and transfer them back to my home computer. I've tried the share file between networks, but I work for a very well known company who's firewall protection doesn't allow any network sharing between non company computers. Am I simply stuck with the slow downloads? Thanks in advance.

    sure, if i understand the question right. this is the only question i really know how to answer. if you have an ipod (which this whole plan hangs on), update it at work. then go home and download one small program: yamipod (google search it.) close itunes at home, attach your ipod, and open yamipod. the program can take the music from your ipod and put it onto your itunes library or your hardrive wheresoever you please. you can also do the flashdrive thing, if you don't have an ipod, but depending on how much music you have, that might take a while. if you know where your music is stored on the computer, just go to that folder. if not, do start, search, and type a song name. once it's found, right click the name and select "open containing folder." then open "my computer" on the desktop or start menu, select the flashdrive, and copy the music files, which should all be in that one location, to the flashdrive.
    in terms of the ipod thing, though, you have to download the program, because itunes tries to block sharing of music through ipods.
    hope that's helpful

  • How do you transfer music from the computer to your mp3 playe

    does any body know how to transfer music from your computer to your mp3 player coz i cant do it ??

    easiest way is to use the nomad explorer download available under support/downloads for your mp3 player.
    then you just drag and drop from a file you have music on your PC to the mp3 player .
    just in case,,, to drag and drop means to click the left mouse button over a mp3 file or individual song and while holding down the left mouse button you drag the file over to the mp3 player icon or folder, then let go of the left mouse button.

    I have an iPhone 4.  I would like to transfer music from my HP computer to the phone.  The music appears on my iTunes page on the computer but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to the phone.  I'd also like to transfer the phone numbers on my phone to my computer (so I can keep them on my backup drive in case something happens to the phone).  When I connect the computer and the phone, it says it's 'syncing' but I certainly can't figure out what's being 'synced'.  The only thing I've ever been able to transfer at all are photos from the phone to the computer.  If I must upgrade my phone system to 6.1 to do thi, I am reluctant to try that because it says I must save things or they will be lost (e.g. music I've purchased, phone directory, etc) - which I have no clue how to do.  My nearest Apple store can only be reached by plane (in Honolulu).  Thanks for any help.
