Basher Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 If I install iTunes on another computer and connect my iPod, will it put all the music from my iPod on the new computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Well, if your iPod is capable of acting as a USB key (there's a setting in iTunes to tell the iPod it's allowed to be a hard drive), you can then copy and paste all the mp3's onto the new hard drive. That's how I did it but all the file names were mangled (look like giberish.mp3). That's easy to fix with a program like ID3Tagit which you can tell to rename all the mp3's based on the ID3 tags.Bouche would probably be the best to answer this one though.

Diggzz Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 If you are running it on a Mac, there is a program called iPod Access, that will allow you to download all your music cleanly, don't know if there is a similar one for PC's, if you are interested I can find the link for iPod Access....

AD Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 That's how I did it but all the file names were mangled (look like giberish.mp3). That's easy to fix with a program like ID3Tagit which you can tell to rename all the mp3's based on the ID3 tags.File names will be mangled, but the ID3 tags will be correct. To fix this you can just select the 'Keep Library Organised' after making a new iTunes library on the new computer and the options associated with that checkbox and the filenames will be changed to how you want them.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine for $1.15. All tolled, with shipping and exchange I got for $15 Canadian. Took about 2 days to show up in the mail. Totally worth it just for the wall plug and car plug chargers alone.

AD Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 no, iTunes is designed to transfer music to an iPod, and the iPod is designed to listen to that music. Sorry for all the detail AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I don't use iTunes. I use a free app called vPod. That program lets you xfer your tunes to your iPod, or from your iPod to any hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
