There’s a really good post on how to do this here: http://www.kadavy.net/blog/posts/transfer-itunes-library/
He covers a number of different situations, depending on what you have available to you, how big it is, etc. 1700 songs might fit on a USB stick.
Here’s something important, since you’re going to sell your laptop. You need to go into iTunes and choose Store->Deauthorise this computer. (Do that after you’ve got all your music moved over and you’re satisfied that everything’s done well). You’re only allowed to authorise 5 machines at a time. If you give the laptop to someone else, you can’t deauthorise it after they’ve got it. Especially if they reformat the hard drive.
