Question

my computer crashed and my itunes got deleted, how do I put the songs from my ipod back into the itunes without syncing the ipod to the itunes and deleting all the songs from my ipod????

Answer 1

Plug your iPod into your computer
Open My Computer
Click the icon for your iPod.
Go to the toolbar menu and click FOLDER OPTIONS
--click the View tab
-----under Hidden Files and Folders mark "Show hidden files and folders"
Now back in your iPod file click music and then there should be a folder that is a lighter color than the others.
In here there are probably a ton of folders that are numbered.
If you click these there will be lots of files with apparant random names (such as LKRR, WEOI, VHIW, DKIE, HAIW, etc....) These are all your song files. Don't worry all the song info is still on them (song, artist, album, everything)
Copy and paste them all into whatever folder you want on your computer.
Click out and go into the next numbered folder and do the same.
Repeat until you've copied all the contents of all the folders.
Import the copied files (from wherever you stored them) into your iTunes. They will appear with all the correct information and depending on your settings they should self re-arrange into neatly organized folders on your computer.
