Just got an Ipod, can't move songs off it???

[Ilikepiedoyou]

I just purchased an ipod, is there any reliable way I can move songs from it to my itunes at work?

 

[DainBramaged]

ephPod....google it

 

[keeleysam]

Enable disk use and copy them out of the iPod_Control/Music folder.

 

[eits]

didn't know about ephpod until just now. thanks, dain

 

[Scrooge2]

yeah ephpod works, there are a bunch of 3rd party programs too. I had to do this when my hard drive got whiped.

Easiest way...

Not sure why everyone else insists on using 3rd party programs...

 

[DivideBYZero]

Yeah, sell it and buy a Zen or something.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

sharepod

Can someone explain this in greater detail?

yeah... go buy a zen... and then waist time learning how to use the HORRIBLE gui and get frustrated when it skips on you. oh, and also get frustrated when the lightest of touches on the touchpad will cause it to pause or change volumes or go to the next song or something... yeah, go buy a piece of shyt zen....

ipod clearly ftw.

I'd call this by far the hardest way since the filenames are all AAX.aac AAY.aac etc.

Yeah, but then iTunes will fix them up for you.

Just drag 'em off...

but can be easily imported and named by the mp3 tags with most media management software. I use J. River Media Center

 

[Ilikepiedoyou]

Sounds good, but how is it done?

So in order to avoid 3rd party programs he should copy the whole folder then get a 3rd party program to fix the names?

That is going off the assumption that all of his tags are correct.

hey, i didn't know how to do this either, but go to "my computer", should see your ipod, right click on it and select "open as portable media device", click on your ipod, then ipod_control, then music. Theres your music in them folders, names jacked as hell, but when you copy to your computer, and then play with itunes, song name and artist comes up fine...

I use a program called SharePod to move music OFF of my iPod. Still use itunes to move in ON to the ipod. If you move stuff on the ipod with another program, the database file gets messed up and you have to format the ipod.

The software is a small exe file you just copy on to the ipod and then use that on ANY computer to move music off. Works well for me.

You also lose song data like play count and date added if that matters to you.
