as said, sif you need a this, sif pay money. there are freeware alternatives, or you can do it manually. that said, does ephpod or any of the other freeware programs allow you to add music/if you just drag and drop music into one of the folders, eg f00 or whatever it is, will the ipod read that song?

I used copy pod and it worked fine except most of them are acc audio files, is there a way to convert them to mpeg or what?

Or you could, you konw, just use windows explorer to copy them off. I know it’s a stretch to use the operating system the way it was intended to be used, but hey, give it a try, you might like it.

right, so i used tinkertool to copy my hidden ipod music folder to my new hd. I then copied my itunes folder to the same HD. I can see that both folders are there but I can’t get itunes to recognize the the ipod folder within it’s library. The ipod music folder still seems to be hidden to itunes. How can I make these files be permanent in the itunes library?

Ok, so you can mount your ‘own’ iPod as a hard drive by selecting ‘enable disk share’ in iTunes. But does this process work with someone elses iPod? So I can help them back up their music to my hard drive

I asked this question a while ago, once you have ‘rescued’ your songs to the PC using Podutil how do you get them back into Itunes from the folders they are stored in?
