What should I do - help pls ??

Hi - I own a 40GB ipod - loaded all my CD's into itunes and then downloaded them onto my IPOD - my questions is as follows: i am just about to by a mini ipod for my brother - since he is into the same music as i am is there anyway i can copy music from my itunes onto the new mini ipod or should i take all my cd's over to his place, download the itunes software, load up the relevant cds and then download the music onto his mini ipod - this seems like a bit longwinded way about doing things but would be really grateful if somebody could advise me on the most efficient way of getting a portion of my existing music collection onto his min ipod.

thank you in advance

If the songs are already on your computer in iTunes then it's no problem doing it, just set the mini to "Manually edit songs" and have a blast.

Wish my sister would buy me an iPod, although I'd prefer a 60GB iPod

Set the mini to disk mode. Drag the actually song files that you want to give your brother to the hard drive. Then when he plugs in the mini to his computer he can drag the songs off of the mini to his computer (afterwards deleting them from the mini), upload them to iTunes and then sync the mini to get the songs into the music player portion.
