    I just bought an Asus W5F and I want to transfer all of my songs to my new laptop. Is that possible to do wirelessly? If so, how? Thanks!

    if theyre on an ipod, you can use a program such as " Ephpod" or if its on your PC you can fairly easily just send them over from it over a shared network. (depending on your wireless/internet setup)

    Set up a network, and change the properties of your music's folder to "share enabled"

    Yep. Quite possibly the best way to do it. Might even want to go wired while transferring to speed it up.

    Okay, so you've moved the files on your new computer, right? Have you imported the songs into iTunes yet?

    Did you actually copy them or did you just make shortcuts? Tell us how long did it took. 1 sec? If it's very short, then you might have only made shortcuts.
