Thanks AR and OakLeaf.

I did get the songs onto my computer. I always create separate libraries because the kids and I sometimes listen to our own tunes on the computer, plus my son and I each have around 1000 songs on our ipods and I'm not sure how many songs I can put on a playlist.

I did my daughter's ipod and messed up because I xferred the purchased songs 1st, then did a synch, which wiped out all of her other songs (yeah I know, big duh on my part). Not such a big deal in her case because she only had about 350 songs on her ipod, but I don't want to make the same mistake on mine and my son's. So, now that I have all songs available how do I keep the songs on our ipods and synch with our individual libraries?
