I want to take the songs from my brother's i pod and copy them in my computer, (mac) how can I do that?

Drag and drop does not work!
HEELP!

Answer 1

Use your iPod as an external hard drive (note: if you do this you won’t be able to listen to any of the songs through the iPod; this method is primarily for ease of transfering music). Locate the actual music folder which iTunes uses to display/play your songs. For most computers its going to be in “Start>My Music>iTunes>iTunes Music.” After you have located the music folders open up the iPod window by going to “Start>My Computer>iPod Icon.” Place the windows side by side and drag the music folder into the iPod window. Now you are using the iPod as external hard drive instead of an MP3 player. If you want you can even transfer word documents and photos as well. Once you get to the computer in which you want to transfer the music you simply open the iPod “Start>My Computer>iPod Icon” and drag the music folders into the iTunes Library interface (the largest part of the screen which displays song name, artist, track number, etc.). Now that music is on a new computer. Just make sure to delete those music folders in the iPod because they will be taking up valuable space. I would make sure the songs tranfer successfully first though.

Okay Hi, first you need to install the ipod disk onto your computer then plug the ipod in and you may need itunes for this (if not go on the ipod site and get itunes) and copy then they should be there, thats what i did! Cya Philippa---x
