Thanks for this Stuart. Don't QUITE get it - do I connect them using firewire and have one of them in target mode (or whatever it is called)? Or can I do it via bluetooth - I am hopelessly un techy. Or can I do it via mobileme in any way?
I also suddenly realised that I could - low tech solution - simply burn the CD's to the macbook directly so they are there in any case. BUT - I'd still not have downloaded tracks on both.
