Author Topic: Need help with copying my mp3 files on my ipod to my computer Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-03-2008 01:13 AM                     Can anyone recommend some software that will let me do this? I spent a week ripping my CD collection and when I was done I transferred it to my ipod...but then my hard drive crashed so the files on my ipod are the only ones left unless I resort to re-ripping everything again (which I really do not want to futz with). I have a late model ipod video purchased about 6 months ago.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-03-2008 01:40 AM                        Get all the music you lost on LP, then transfer it from LP to MP3 I'm the only person under the age of 30 that does not own an MP3 player so unfortunatly I can't help.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-03-2008 02:16 AM                     Sadly I can't, because much of the music I have was never released in LP.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-03-2008 02:27 AM                        What happens when you connect it to a computer that has not been associated with another iPod? Surely it appears as an external HD and you can drag files back and forth. At least that's what I did with my iPod before I erased it and gave it away.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 03-03-2008 03:28 AM                        iPod Rip This program saved all my music when my hard drive crashed a couple of years ago.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Frazza Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Nutley, NJ, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 03-03-2008 11:39 AM                        I don't even use Itunes at all. I hate it. I use; Copypod And I have used Vpod But they are both free and should do what you need. There are a bunch of others too if you just google Itunes alternatives  |  IP: Logged Kyle Anderson Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Tyler, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 03-03-2008 11:48 AM                     Also, just turn on invisible file viewing and look for the folders with the huge sizes ( i think it splits them up into a few folders) and tell iTunes to import the enclosing folder.  |  IP: Logged
