If my hard drive is nearly filled up. Will it cause it to go slow? I have an extra hard drive installed, if I transfer some of the stuff lets say 20 gb's worth of music files would that make things run quicker? Sometimes when I try to do something I get a message that says "out of memory line 56" I have no idea what that means. I have an older PC with 756 of memory a 80 gb hd and an extra internal one with 200 gb that is almost empty. Should I move stuff over ?: Thanks in advance. Hope this is a ok place to ask this question.

Moving stuff over to another HD will make it run a bit faster but adding RAM with a better processor is what will make the bigger difference. What is your processor/RAM and do you have Norton or AOL installed?

Your processor/RAM is not bad at all but your problem is Norton and AOL. They tend to slow down your computer to a crawl. I have those running on my dads 3.6 GHz P4 with 1GB RAM and it crawls. Try going to Start-> RUN -> msconfig
the startup tab
disable any programs that you do not need starting up with your computer. Your best bet though is to uninstall those two softwares. Norton being priority. Use AVG instead.

You can burn music files to DVD but it won't play back on anything but a PC. You'll also have to use 3rd party software.
Try this

I haven't myself but it should work.

I have a freind who sent me some dvd's with music cds on it and I was able to copy them to my pc and them import them to my itunes. But I can't figure out how to do it. I will check that link you sent.
