Is your keyboard broken as well?

A flash drive should work fine. In Windows iTunes do File->Import and select the music files and it will import them.

Are the songs NOT being imported your iTunes Purchased songs? If so, the only way to move them is to actually BURN THEM to a disc as an audio CD (like what you'd play in your car). The purchased songs are LOCKED and can only be played on the authorized computer.

That's not true. You can transfer purchased songs as they are to other computers. Of course you then need to authorize the other computer to be able to play them.

spindoctor, it's difficult to help you since you are very sparse with information.
