Copy music from your iPod

apple ipod black The iPod is easy to use, sure.

But that ease of use hits an abrupt wall when you try to take that music off your iPod and move it onto another computer.

Why, you may reasonably ask? Well, there’s the piracy issue. The RIAA doesn’t want stealing music to be that easy, even on a small scale; Apple doesn’t want that.

  1. To begin, make sure your iPod is set up to work as a storage device. Open up iTunes with your iPod plugged in and go to Preferences. Under Options, select Enable Disk Use.
  2. Select your iPod in Windows Explorer, then click Tools | Folder Options, then View. Select Show hidden files and folders, then exit the dialog.
  3. On your iPod, you will notice that within a folder called iPod Control is a series of folders with obscure names such as D1, D12, and so on.

    Your MP3 and MP4 files are scattered about in those folders. You can now copy those to your hard drive and then reimport them to iTunes.
