I Tunes Trouble - How to transfer songs from ipod to library?

Question

Hi, I just moved house and was trying to transfer all the songs on my ipod nano to the new computer music libray in itunes. I can't semm to figure ot how to do it! It seems you can update yur music library to the ipod but not the other way round and since all my tunes are in a different lbrary on another computer, I'm stumped! Also, can't update my ipod till I'm sure I'm not going to erase all the tunes on it and replace it with an empty music library.

Any big techno-brains out there to help me out?

Answer 1

Officially Apple doesn't 'support' transfering tracks from an iPod back into iTunes.

As of version 7 of iTunes you can transfer some tracks but only those tracks which have been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. If you have tracks you've acquired in any other way then there's no official way of doing this.

The unofficial way is to use another program in the place of iTunes such as Ephpod (www.ephpod.com) which will coexist quite happily with iTunes on a Windows machine and also runs on Linux machines as well, which iTunes does not.
