What happens if the computer that has my iTunes and all my music on it crashes?? How can I get my music back? Is all that I buy from iTunes on my iTunes account forever so I can just re-download it again or something?

It depends on what you mean by crashes. If you mean, it deletes everything off your hard drive, then your music is gone. You can complain to Apple about it (1-800-APPLE), but I don't think it'll do much. So always back up your music. Best thing to do is save all your songs to a disk or CD, that way in case it does it again, all you have to do is re-download it from the CD/disk.
Locking the barn after the horse get stolen ... or however that goes. Lol.

If the music is still on your ipod then you can just retransfer your songs back into itunes. Go to download.com and get a program called music rescue by kennettnet. It is a free program that will transfer your music from your ipod to your computer, add the songs to itunes and rebuild your playlists.
You will just have to reauthorize your computer to play your songs that you bought on itunes. You can authorize 5 computers.
It will transfer movies as well.
You might want to put your music on a couple of computers like family or friends or a external hard drive so that you have a back up. Same goes with pictures!
