I did a search on ipod but nothing came up...whats up with that?

anywho..i have to reset my ipod but cant figure out how to save my songs. i have a back up CD that i made yrs ago but when i tried to save the songs in win Med player it said "cannot find songs" (I have windows 7)

any suggestions?

The songs on your iPod should be on your iTunes, since iPod syncs from whatever is in iTunes.

Not necessarily.

If your songs aren't on your computer I'm SURE there must be a program (especially for Windows) which allows you to extract everything from your iPod and save it on your computer. However, I am not familiar with any program that does this sort of task Sorry.

this comes up every second month on the org. download Senuti to backup for a small price compared to the task of re-acquiring everything

I burn to DVD discs my entire ITunes collection.
Plan to do it this week since I last did it about 3000 songs ago.

i downloaded the trial version..it wont let me copy files. ;-(

sonic said:

If you don't need support for iPod Touch/iPhone, download the older, more stable version of Senuti... or...

Alternatives:

Songbird (Free)

Yamipod (Free)

Music Rescue 4 (Not Free)

iPod Music Liberator (Not Free)

If you already have a back-up, you can re-direct your iTunes to pull from that back-up library.

It should. Check out their documentation. Maybe you need to adjust some settings.

SharePod.

I ended up downloading Songbird as well....

to say i am frustrated is the UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR!

i still cannot add songs to my ipod nano (2nd gen) I have 600 songs on it...but when i plug it into itunes or yamipod or songbird it says there are 1300 songs. Ive tried dragging/dropping...adding/import media files...no luck~

WTH? am i cursed?


I do know One thing...I will NEVER EVER buy another ipod.

I have NO problems with my "generic" MP3 player.

itunes you can suck it!

Did you uncheck "Manually manage music and video"? If you've recently installed a new OS or are using a computer without your original DRMs, those songs will not be accessible.

And there it is. The easiest and least expensive (read: FREE!!) answer.

Sharepod hmm...ok..i will check it out.
But not now...im burnt out

sonic said:

the only thing that should be "burnt" by now is the underside of a dvd-r.

And I'll say for the millionth time how silly that is. The system is designed to automatically and effortlessly back up your music. Why do people purposefully work around that?

AlexdeParis said:

Because they want to.

Alej said:

AlexdeParis said:

Really, they do

Alej said:

I know. But everybody knows that most people don't backup because it's something they don't normally think about; as such, it's hard to sympathize with people who circumvent a seamless, automatic backup system.

AlexdeParis said:

To each their own.

AlexdeParis said:

because sometimes if you take the music off and it goes to automatically back up it will remove all your music and that sucks more that anything. A better bet is to put your music on an SD card, external drive, or something. Plus if your computer should crash you still cannot access your music.

If you take the music off the computer? Why would you do that?

Because. they. want. to.

Alej said:

You must like bricks upside the head, huh?

People do crazy-assed things all the time. Sometimes, I like to know why. The vast majority of times, people do these things with a specific purpose in mind -- not because they arbitrarily "want to."

In my case, I delete things because music takes up too much space.
