I just got an iPod. I've downloaded songs from CD to my iPod. Where are these songs now stored? On my hard drive or on iTunes? I want to make sure that if I trade in my CDs and get a new computer, these songs will still be available through my iTunes account and not my hard drive. Can someone confirm where songs downloaded from CD are stored?

When you import the CD into iTunes, it saves the songs on the hard drive of the computer. Then, when you plug your iPod in to your computer you download the songs from your computer's hard drive to the hard drive on your iPod. So your songs are actually stored on both devices. The songs are not stored in your iTunes account. If you get a new computer, you will need to transfer all of your songs to the new computer either by burning the CDs that you've already traded in onto CDs again or using a transfer software and cable to go from computer to computer.

Well, the answer is both- they go into your Itunes ON your computer. There is no remote access to your Itunes account. They are in your Itunes folder.
If you want to trade in your CDs, before you get a new computer, burn your Itunes songs onto new blank CDs. I've never heard of people being so cheap about music. Spend a buck, people.
