How do you transfer songs from iPod to PC?

Answer 1

Traditional way:

Just like I promised in the Mac post, here it is:
- Connect the iPod to your PC.
- Go to Control Panel > Portable Media Devices > iPod.
- Go to Tools > Options.
- In the View tab, check "Show Hidden Files & Folders".
- Navigate to the music folder.
- Select all music folders, drag & drop them into a folder on your hard drive.
Now, be aware of the fact that the folder structure will be strange and obscure, so to fix this, move your files into iTunes and set it to organize your files.
How would you do that? Easy.
- Go to Edit > Preferences.
- In the advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized"

hook up your ipod to the computer and click on itunes and click sync and it will ask transfer purchases and click yes and it may say some of them can't be transferred if you probably got them illigeally or didnt buy them off of itunes

If you have an ipod which is formatted for a Mac OS the steps noted above are correct.

If you have an ipod which has been formatted for use on a Windows based operating systems please follow the following directions.

These steps will ensure that the content you currenlty have on your ipod will be transfered over to your current itunes library with out causing your ipod to be erased in the synching process.

1. Connect your iPod - Warning! if iTunes loads when you plug in your iPod eject the ipod and shut down itunes.

2. Open your iPod - Depending on your OS Go to "My Computer". Right click and choose "Explore". Alternatively, go to the Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, and double-click your iPod.

3. Unhide the files - By default, Windows hides hidden files and folders (thus the name). Go to Options (in the Tools menu), and on the View tab, check "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

4. Find the Music - The music is stored (in current iPods) in the directory "\iPod_Control\Music". Create a new folder on your hard drive in a location of your choice. Select everything and drag and drop them into that folder. Highlight and select all the folders, right click, choose properties, Under the General Tab uncheck the hidden box.

5. Configure iTunes - Go into iTunes Preferences, and under the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to the library" (settings move around a bit between versions of iTunes, but these settings will be there somewhere).

6. Add Your Files - In iTunes, select File, Add Folder to Library, and select the folder where you copied the files from your iPod. Alternatively, just drag and drop this folder onto iTunes.

If you want to transfer music from iPod touch to computer, you can use a third-party tool. For iTunes doesn't allow users to transfer music from iOS device back to computer. AnyTrans is a good one to transfer and manage contents on iOS devices. Step 1. Download and install AnyTrans on computer, connect your iPod touch to your computer via a USB cable. Step 2. Run it on your computer, click on the "Audio" and then select "Music" to enter the manage page to preview the music. Step 3. Choose the music you want to transfer on your iPod touch, and then click on "To Computer" button at the top right pane to complete.
