iTunes rant

[QueBert]

Had bought a couple songs and a couple videos on my GF's laptop, was a problem and the laptop crashed. Now I'm trying to download them on my PC I'm getting the "you've already bought this, are you sure you want to purchase again?" If the stupid iTunes stores knows I bought it why the hell can't I just download it on another computer that my account is authorized on? My only choice now is to re-buy them, I know I could have (should have) backed them up to a CD or something. There's no way around this right? Itunes should allow you to download the content to every pc that's linked to the account.

submit a support request to apple. they usually let you do this once. I;m sure they don't download automatically to each authorized pc because it's somewhere in their terms w/ the record labels. or they just don't want to pay for the bandwidth.

Call Apple Support up and tell them what happened. Usually they'll let you redownload all your songs.
