A Tutorial on How To Move 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 what about people who wan to transfer their own music between their own computers using their iPod and iTunes? This isn't wrong or illegal!
You also might want need to transfer your iPod music to your own laptop or computer at work.
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!!!
It's not very difficult to figure out how to prevent this from happening. You need to choose 'no' when you're asked if you want to 'auto-sync' your iTunes and your iPod.
The next step would be removing particular files from the iTunes folder within your computer, revealing your hidden files, moving the file "iPod Control folder" along with your iPod music to another place for protection, and finally generating a new iPod Control folder. There were additional steps involved, but I think you understand.
To avoid this very aggravating scenario or the complicated process necessary to avoid losing all of your music, third party vendors intervened and established some very helpful software.
Tune Tools, PodMaxx and iPod 2 iTunes are all programs that have been made so that you can easily transfer music on your iPod back to your computer, or to another computer.
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! - 18758
