Well, that was fairly painless. Using its backup tool, I just backed up my iTunes library: 2089 songs, 7.13GB. It took two DVD-R 4.7GB disks and about 20 minutes. If I'm reading the documentation correctly, it doesn't back up album artwork, so if I (or you) want to save that, the album artwork folder needs to be saved separately. If I'm wrong and somebody knows otherwise, I'd appreciate being advised.

If you have Beatles music, for example, their catalog isn't in iTunes (yet); no artwork for those albums shows up. That means digging around to copy the cover images and editing the albums within iTunes. Since I don't want to have to do that over and over again, I'd like to save the artwork within iTunes.
