How To Move Music From iPod to iTunes

By Johnathan Demay

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. Despite this being a very useful feature, Apple decided to not include this function with iTunes.

Some believe that Apple is intentionally trying to prevent songs from being taken illegally. Imagine that you purchase a new computer, install iTunes, and attempt to transfer songs from your iPod to that new computer. What is it about this process that is unjust or crooked?

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. Because of this, an unused, empty iTunes library will take the place of all of your music in your present iPod library. This is crazy!

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.

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.

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.

You can also copy playlists and videos to your computer from your iPod, for a small cost. Each of these programs includes features that iTunes hasn't yet included in their own software. These programs cost around $25 to $30, which is much cheaper than finding that your iPod library has been deleted! - 18424
