If they are his songs that are downloaded through iTunes, don't waste your time. Songs purchased through iTunes are encoded with the account information in which they were purchased through and cannot be played through another account.

If the songs are "borrowed" from the web, follow Raven's advice above. You can also find all mp3 files on the computer by going to the Start menu, choosing the Find option and typing in ".mp3". This will return every file on the computer with the .mp3 extension.

Some of the songs are his some are mine. Most were uploaded from CD and others were purchased through itunes. I thought you could authorize up to 3 different computers?
