Transferring iTunes Music:
>>> MAKE SURE that your iTunes is set to [MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC] <<<

Method #1:
Download iDump or any other similar software from download.com (for free).

[Method #2 does not require third party software or an internet connection. This method will transfer ALL songs, photos and videos from iPod to computer; use Method #1 to transfer specific songs. Playlists will not transfer.]

Method #2:
> Connect iPod to computer.

> Double click [iPod drive]
> [Tools]
> [Folder Options]
