iTunes Music Store downloads

[BioHazard.89]

I have about 45 dollars worth of downloaded iTunes Music Store songs, shows and vidoes, and I dont really want to lose them when i format..... IF I just back these up to a network computer, can I use them again? Can I put them on my iPod again?

Make sure you deauthorize the music before backing them up.

How do I go about doing that?
