Reveille22 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Is it possible to take music off of an iPod onto a computer and if yes do I need a program to do it or a specific cable to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 It is quite possible. You need the cable that came with the iPod (USB or FireWire or both) and CopyPod or EphPod and that's it. For Windows, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenutensils Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 in iTunes right click on the iPod (windows) and select manual mode (not sure how; i've read this loads of places but don't bother remembering) then drag all the songs from the iPod to iTunes. if thats rubbish i just told you then use one of the other ipod uploaders.

If you download it, you will be able to. (I had iPod mini which i exchanged for zen micro :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher1078 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Don't use iTunes to get music off the iPod - not only will it not let you, but if you make a wrong button choice by accident it will wipe your iPod clean. It's designed to prevent people from just copying iPods, and therefor songs easily thus angering the music companies. But, like anything, there are ways around it. At Ipodlounge.com you'll find the most complete guide out there to copying music from the iPod, and you can find it here. Still be careful about syncing it up after that, and check out the other guides at ipodlounge to be able to sync it to more than one computer, if this is something you want to do. http://www.ipodlounge.com/articles_more.php?id=5090_0_8_0_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshpo Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I don't use iTunes at all I use Xplay which makes your ipod drag-and-drop compatible, so you can drag music off/on of the iPod. (Also it synchs with WMP!) www.mediafour.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betasp Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 You may also want to look at Ephpod and the ipod winamp plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
