My laptop with full itunes library was stolen last night so all I have is what's on my ipod - any ideas how I can get my music off the ipod to "refill" the empty copy of itunes on my new laptop - hope this makes sense!
 
Don't you just open the Ipod in 'Devices with removable storage' then drag and drop into a folder on the laptop.
 
I think its something like that, but you have to enable the "show all hidden files tab" somewhere:nenau

I think it's harder than that as the iPod is meant to use the DRM to stop you giving your music to all your buddies :augie

When I had a similar problem, I bought copyPod - a downloadable utility which allows you to retrieve the music. I think it is about 20 US Dollars.

Most important, be careful when connecting to iTunes that syncing is not set to auto otherwise it will simply wipe it clean! :eek:

Thunder knows:thumb He talked me through it and it was quite simple, i just can't remember how:rob

Wait for somebody who knows for sure as you wouldn't want to loose the lot:eek:

Exactly! I don't want it to automatically sync and lose everything. I'll try Thunder!
