Move Music from iPod to PC in 5 Easy Steps



I’m a big fan of the iPod but what I don’t like is Apple not being very forthcoming about how to move music from the iPod back to the PC. They’re quick enough to tell you how to move the music from your PC to your iPod but when you want to do the opposite, Apple clams up tight.

Their reasoning is probably that the only reason you’d want to take your music off the iPod is to copy it and illegally distribute it. But that is really an insult to the music buyer. There are plenty of legitimate reasons why you would want to move your music from the iPod back to the PC. For a start, what if your hard-drive crashed and the only copies of the music were on your iPod? Or you accidentally deleted a song from your hard-drive and you wanted it back, without having to buy another copy?

It has taken me ages to work out how to get the music off the iPod and onto the computer but I have finally got it. This is how to do it on a Windows PC. Since I don’t have a Mac, I can’t help there.

For me, i am use some video converter tools,like as Pavtube,dvdshrink

The easy five-step guide to moving your music from your iPod to your PC

1. In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View. In the Advanced Settings list, under Hidden files and folders, check the radio button for “Show hidden files and folders�. Then click OK. You’ll get a Windows security warning but it’s safe enough to disregard it as we will only be disabling this function for a short while.

2. Plug in your iPod. In Windows Explorer, a folder will now appear with the name of your iPod.



Double-click on that. Go to the sub-folders “iPod_Control� and then “music�. You’ll find your music there randomly scattered across multiple folders and with scrambled file names. But don’t worry, the ID3 tags are still fully intact and we are now going to “unscramble� the files.

3. But first copy all the music from those iPod folders into a new folder on your hard-drive. Move all the songs into one single folder and discard all the folders that your iPod made. By the end, you should have one folder in your hard-drive with all the scrambled files together.

4. Open up iTunes and do the following : Go to Edit > Preferences. Under the Advanced tab, under the General “sub-tab�, select the local folder where you have copied the music from your iPod (by clicking Change…).



Check the box “Keep iTunes Music folder organized� and click OK. Also make sure you have wiped all previous music from iTunes so your playlists are blank.

5. In iTunes, click “File� then “add folder to library�. Select the folder where all your copied music is. iTunes will now re-import all your music back into the playlists. But more importantly, because you have previously clicked “Keep iTunes Music Folder organised�, iTunes will now start renaming and organising your songs into their correct names, albums and folders. This may take a while depending on how many songs you have in your iTunes library.

There you have it. Oh and don’t forget to go back into Windows Explorer, and to Tools > Folder Options > View. Reverse what you did so the hidden files remain hidden again. You may also want to de-select “Keep iTunes Music Folder organised� if you don’t normally use that option.

You may want to also take this opportunity (before doing the above) to wipe your iPod and revert it back to the factory settings. Lifehacker also suggests defragging your iPod (although I think that is potentially rife with problems). Then afterwards, just use iTunes to move your music from your PC back to your iPod.

Reverting it back to factory settings is good for getting rid of any crap that has built up inside the iPod and making it run faster. After all, the iPod is basically a hard-drive and like PC hard-drives, an iPod can do with a purge once in a while to give it its speed back.

A video problem that puzzle many people

The problem is widely mentioned in the networld that the video will automatically exit when you are watching it (including myself) and it couldn’t continue to be played where the video exits. I really want to know what causes the problem. Is it due to the conversion problem of the software or the original video? As for the conversion tool, I use the free software: Videora iPod Converter. Later on I had a try on Pavtube DVD Ripper. Sometimes the problem comes up and sometimes not, same as using other software. just for the same video, when using different software, or trying different software to convert the some video, the same problem comes up from time to time.

So I want to ask the expert what causes the problem. Is it because of the software clash or the video conversion problem? Many people asked the similar questions but no one answered it to resolve the problem normally. Some people just say that some software is better than others. However, as far as I know, it seems that there is no the problem like this to come up. (I have been using the same software to convert the same format for the movies). I really don’t know what causes the problem.

Is it because of the software clash? Hope that it is discussed by all of you and can tell us what the cause is. Thanks in advance.
