How to Move Music from Your iPod to iTunes Without Extra Software


Step1

Connect your iPod to a PC running Windows (XP or Vista are your best bets).



Step2

Make sure you can see your hidden files.

In Vista, open any folder and click on the "Organize" button in the toolbar. Click on "Folders" and "Search Options," then select "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

In XP, open Windows Explorer (not the web browser), go to "Tools" on the toolbar and "Folder Options." Select the tab labeled "View" and under "Hidden Files and Folders" click on "Show Hidden Files and Folders."




Step3

Go to "My Computer" in XP's Explorer or "Computer" in Vista's Explorer.



Step4

Click on the iPod.




Step5

Find the Music folder on the iPod by navigating to iPod_Control > Music.



Step6


Copy and paste the entire Music folder & all of its contents on to your computer--make sure you remember the spot where you copied the Music Folder. In the file explorer, Vista will show all the file names, albums & songs, but XP or earlier versions will only show the filenames (like XXYPZ.mp3).



Step7

Launch iTunes.




Step8

Eject and disconnect the iPod. Just click the Eject button next to the iPod in iTunes.



Step9

Go to File> "Add Folder to Library" in iTunes.




Step10

Navigate to the place you copied the Music folder from the iPod.



Step11

Hit the "OK" button. Your songs will be added to your iTunes Library. It may take a while if you have a lot of music, so be patient.
