How To Transfer Music From iPod to iTunes
While it's very common to download music from CDs or the iTunes Store from your computer to your iPod, many people would also like to transfer their music from their iPod back to their computer. Unfortunately Apple decided that iTunes shouldnt help with this, even though Apple should have known this would be an important feature.
Some people suspect that Apple took these steps to protect music from being illegally traded. But think about it this wayyou get a new computer so you install iTunes and want to put your iPod songs on that new computer. This isn't wrong or illegal!
Therefore, transferring songs from your iPod to your laptop or your computer at work is probably out of the question as well.
Sadly, iTunes on your new computer has been set to instinctively replace your current iTunes library. These settings will wipe out the library on your iPod, along with any music you have stored on it, and use the new, empty iTunes library. Yeesh!!!
Needless to say, people quickly figured out how to bypass this bad situation. You need to choose 'no' when you're asked if you want to 'auto-sync' your iTunes and your iPod.
To transfer music from your iPod back to your computer, a complicated series of steps is necessary, from deleting files from your iTunes folder, revealing hidden files, copying the iPod Control folder, creating a new folder and putting your songs somewhere else for safety. It's even more complicated than that, but you see the idea.
Third-party software designers created programs that did all of this for you and allowed the user to skip past the overcomplicated techniques that were being used to avoid losing music.
Three programs that were created to aid you in easily transferring your iPod music to your iTunes library are iPod 2 iTunes, PodMaxx, and Tune Tools.
With these programs you are able to easily copy songs, videos, and playlists from your iPod to iTunes for a moderate. Each of these programs includes features that iTunes hasn't yet included in their own software. And they cost between $20 and $30a real bargain, particularly when compared to losing your entire iPod library! - 18418
