Hey you.

As the title suggests its something technical info wise I seek.

I have had my ipod a while now but never thought till now to ask the question.

When I get my video ipod, how do I transfer my songs from this to that?

I dont think its possible to take my songs from my ipod back onto my computer.

If it is then think of all the problems I could have solved, oh me, oh my!



anyway, what are you all still doing inside?



the sun is shining, the birds are HOT with their skimpy little bikinis on.

Google is your friend

There are programs that will allow you to copy tracks from your ipod back to your PC

Search for EphPod. Worked for me.

Do any of these programs recover the original filenames?

No, because iTunes renames the files to things like QELKN.mp3 as it transfers them. What a lot of these ipod rippers do is just transfer the files and the directory structure, and the mp3 tag is retained throughout - so that when you transfer onto your new ipod, all is as it was on your old one.

i use "Ipod Access for Windows"

VERY easy to use. but no, it does not recover the original filenames, although it does name every folder, which is kinda cool i guess.

The ORIGINAL filenames I used, not ones pulled from ID3 tags?

For example, if I threw all of my mp3s onto an iPod via iTunes or whatever, and then later, came back to it and wanted to restore it? This is what I am wondering.

And perhaps I am that stupid, but I don't even have an iPod, so...... 8===D

media monkey > itunes

yeah it does it all. the song titles and shit are actually stored in a db file and its all read from there. winamp uses this to parse the file names.
