itunes? :huh: Just backup your iphone on your windows PC first.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Ha, how daft of me I didn't think about that, being in work for 6am this morning has left me a little confuddled.

you can't transfer music from the phone to the computer because if that's the case we could all go around sharing our music collections with each other for free  :rolleyes:

you would need third party software.

If you have your old PC/Laptop you can do this to preserve your library:

heres a hint...back up the intunes library on an external drive...then you can move the music around the house to the different machines or even a friends...also isn't as limiting as machine harddrive in terms of space... plenty of reasonable 1.5TB drives out there now  :rolleyes:
