Ipod Music To Computer

Recommended Posts

Source:http://www.mp4kits.com/Guides/iPod/Thanks-to-iPod-Transfer/

The other day, I bought a new iPod touch, I like it very much. All it did terrific jobs until this morning.

 

This morning, I was going to listen to my music using my iPod touch, however, the disaster came. All my music and video content disappeared. I was so anxious that I’m afraid of losing all my favorite songs and videos. I open iTunes to sync my iPod touch, but iTunes told me that it didn’t recognize my iPod touch and suggested restoring to the factory settings. My God, I was nearly crazy with the trouble. Most importantly, I won’t want to lose all my files, I spent seven hours to get them and did not back them up. But I was sure that I didn’t delete them, the files must be still in my iPod touch.

 

So I did google a lot. Thank Goodness! I find a solution to backup my iPod files to my computer. I download the third software called iPod Transfer, which does a great job helping me back all my songs and video files up to my computer. Following is to restore my iPod touch. Although spent more than ten minutes, now I have all my songs and videos retrieved.

 

Thanks to iPod Transfer! Now I want to share with iPod users how to backup your iPod files to computer in case of suddenness.

 

Step one: Download iPod Transfer and run it.

 

Step two: Connect you iPod to your computer, and all your iPod files will be automatically shown in the program as the screenshot. You can set the columns display.

Step three: Select the songs or videos you want to backup, click “Copy” button then specify the backup directory.

Please note that the trial version only allows you copy five files. I have numbers of music songs and videos, so I purchased an official version. Although the program charges me $19.95, I think it is worth that price.

There must be free versions for this task. If I ever get an iPod, I'd always use alternatives to iTunes.

There are several posts on Xisto for ipod-to-PC, I guess most of them are free and the best ones are OpenSource!And of course I will personally never buy an Ipod, I would rather buy a huge mp3 player !

I think iPod is over rated too. I do own a iPod Touch, and not sure what the big deal is all about. I use it regularly, but the annoying thing is the elitist Apple does not provide their iTunes software for Linux. I am just waiting for the two or so years to pass by when my iPod would die (the battery replacement "feature" is another draconic feature in my honest opinion), I would just opt for some other music player, which I am sure could be used with generic software - which means I can use it in sync with my Linux installs.
