While it's very common to download music from CDs or the iTunes Store from your computer to your iPod, many people would also like to transfer their music from their iPod back to their computer. Despite this being a very useful feature, Apple decided to not include this function with iTunes.
Some believe that Apple is intentionally trying to prevent songs from being taken illegally. Imagine that you purchase a new computer, install iTunes, and attempt to transfer songs from your iPod to that new computer. What is it about this process that is unjust or crooked?
Therefore, transferring songs from your iPod to your laptop or your computer at work is probably out of the question as well.
The default settings of iTunes will transfer the iTunes library on your new computer to your iPod. These settings will wipe out the library on your iPod, along with any music you have stored on it, and use the new, empty iTunes library. This is troublesome!
It's not very difficult to figure out how to prevent this from happening. You need to choose 'no' when you're asked if you want to 'auto-sync' your iTunes and your iPod.
To transfer music from your iPod back to your computer, a complicated series of steps is necessary, from deleting files from your iTunes folder, revealing hidden files, copying the iPod Control folder, creating a new folder and putting your songs somewhere else for safety. There were more steps, but you get the drift.
To avoid this very aggravating scenario or the complicated process necessary to avoid losing all of your music, third party vendors intervened and established some very helpful software.
Three programs that were created to aid you in easily transferring your iPod music to your iTunes library are iPod 2 iTunes, PodMaxx, and Tune Tools.
With these programs you are able to easily copy songs, videos, and playlists from your iPod to iTunes for a moderate. Each program comes with features that would have been helpful on iTunes, and they are all very easy to use. Considering what price you would pay if you lost your complete iPod libary, they are very affordable as they cost between $20 and $30.
