tranfering songs from ipod to computer..need shareware program please.

[weapon]

What would be a good program to do this?

for transferring your legally purchased and ripped tracks from one device to another in accordance with your rights, you can use Senuti (that's iTunes backwards)

Yep, had an itunes hard drive crash and it is easier just to move them from my ipod then it would be to re-encode all of them.

I will look into it.

thanks

I had a similar thing happen to me-- for some reason my iTunes library file got corrupted. The songs were still on my HD and iPod, but the 'Pod couldn't be synced, and iT didn't see the music.

I ended up telling iTunes to find all the music, then Restoring the 'Pod, and reconstructing all my playlists.

I've got Senuti, and am hoping that if I ever "lose" the library file again, I can just "clone" my 'Pod to iTunes.

I believe the trick is to keep a couple backup copies of the .xml files that live in the same directory as your "iTunes Music" folder. "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library.xml". You can ignore all the other ones from the older versions of iTunes that get left behind. I'm not sure, but you might really only need the latter of the two mentioned above.

You'll probably want to keep an older version or two as well, just so you don't end up overwrite a good one with a corrupted one at some point.

Another trick: you can actually make backups of your playlists by choosing Export… from the Edit menu, after selecting a given playlist. You'll be prompted to save a file somewhere named "PlaylistTitle.xml". You can restore these at any time in the future.

Have fun!
