I like shuffling the songs in my playlists (usually about 80 songs per list), but this greatly cuts down on my battery life.  Is there a way to shuffle the songs through iTunes before loading the playlist to my iPod?

All you guys who have music on an iPod but not on your computer for whatever reason, go to the top of this page and look at “The most asked question…” The link will give you a nice tutorial - essentially you will need to download one of the many pieces of third-party software which will rip the music from your iPod and stick it on your computer’s hard drive.

mbi:  If you’re using a Mac, use iSync. I don’t know about PC’s.

amy05:  No!

lunakittay:  Congratulations on the Mac! You needn’t reformat your iPod - units formatted on PC’s will work on Macs but not vice-versa. Go to the link at the top of the page to find out how to get your music off the iPod and onto your Mac. Once this is accomplished, you’ll have a nice new library in iTunes on the Mac and you could reformat the iPod then if you really wanted to before letting iTunes resync the library.

sistersomeone:  Assuming you won’t be illegally copying music, I would advise you to have a look at the link mentioned already - there is software available which enables a computer to browse and rip music from a connected iPod.
Otherwise you could enable the iPod as a disc (through iPod options in iTunes). Then find the individual tracks on your computer as files (i.e. not through iTunes) you can copy these to the iPod as you would copy any file to any removable storage device (drag and drop). When you get to the other computer, plug in the iPod and explore it as a drive - just drag the stored files off the iPod onto the new computer and the copying is complete. Usually you just need to play the track through iTunes and it will be copied into the iTunes library.
This is the exact same way I use to carry my work files (Word, Powerpoint etc.) around on my iPod and utilises the iPod in just the same way as any other portable disc drive. Remember - don’t illegally copy music!

I had a recent hard drive fry on my previous computer. During this chaos I lost all of my music that was on the computer. Luckily it is all on the I pod. Now, how do I remove music from my ipod and install it on my computer. I have spent a while doing this but I cant figure it out. I appreciate it.

A friend of mine put all my music on to my ipod from his PC, and now I have a mac computer and want to put the music from my ipod on my itunes library. Is this possible without losing everything? I believe all will be deleted? I’d love to avoid this if there’s any way?
Thank you!!!!

I recently bought a cd (Van Zant) on the Sony/Nashville label and wanted to download on to my i-pod and could not make this happen.  Has Sony come out with software that prevents the downloading of their music?  If so, is there anyway around this?

Thanks

Guys: YOU CAN TRANSFER MUSIC FROM AN iPod TO A COMPUTER WITH A PIECE OF SPECIAL SOFTWARE.

Please read the previous posts and have a look at the top of the page: “THE MOST ASKED QUESTION….”

It gets really boring reading posts every week from people with the same problem who haven’t even read the page!

I want to copy music-files to my iPod shuffle without iTunes (copy/paste in Windows-Explorer OR with Media Player).

Is there a way to do this, because I have my music on different computers and I cannot install software on the computer in my office.

Im sure this has been asked but I cant seem to resolve my problem.  I have 4th gen ipod and have downloaded ituens to my PC.  Itunes will open once but will not recognise the ipod.  After this itunes crashes and refuses to open. The PC recognises that an extenal disc drive (ipod) is attached.  I have uninstalled itunes and have found that doing this disbles my DVD ROM drive (Toshiba DVD ROM-M1212).  The ipod works on my friends PC with absolutely no problems.

Any help or advice would be great.
