Downloading Music From Itunes

Hello Macritters©!

i would like to know how (if posible) could i download music directly from the music i share trough iTunes over the network.

Mind you, it is a Mac to PC procedure, i have he music on the G5 but want to download it to my Dell Laptop.

It is my music, i want to download it to MY other pc, ergo, personal use, do not start with oh, this is piracy trolling

for copyright trolls>

I could just donwload them all but i dont want them all, i dont have much space left on the HDD so i just want to download them as i listen to them and think they are laptop material

Thanx for the help guys..

Sounds silly dude, but why not just use the iTunes sharing system?

Also, for anyone about to mention DMCA et al., Seph lives in Dubai, so he's nott covered by DMCA and so forth.

He can do what he wants with his music.

Well the thing is that i take the laptop to work and then i cant see my music over the network...

From my experience, the easiest way to do it is with MyTunes. I have done this with my own Dell laptop over my network and works nearly flawlessly:

The way I have done it:

1. Install MyTunes on the Dell

2. Open iTunes on both boxes

3. Turn on file sharing in both iTunes'es (just to be safe)

4. Start playing the files you want from your G5 library on your Dell iTunes through the iTunes sharing

5. At this point, the song your are playing should pop-up in MyTunes and you can begin download to a folder that you can specify. It will copy it right over with no hassle.

The only thing that I can say to beware of is that if you try to dl more than about 5 or 6 songs at a time, MyTunes may crash. What I did to get around it is just play a snippet of each song so that MyTunes could view it and then get that 5 or so at a time.

Good luck and I hope this was what you were looking for.
