Guest southside jim Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hey fellas, I'm looking to clear out my ipod so I can change it up a bit, but I recently re-formatted my computer, so I'd like to first rip the music that's currently on the ipod to my hard drive. Anyone know any free programs that'll help me do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ezkerraldean Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 no idea but i'll take this opportunity to rant about this specific problem being really shitty and hence that ipods in general are inherently shitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 i got a program that everybody said was the best one for doing this and it turns out that while YES it can rip all of your music off your ipod successfully , each file s name will be encrypted (random letters and numbers) and each folder that contains these encrypted names is also encrypted and contains a random selection of tracks. if someone actually knows how to get id3 tags and file names OFF of an ipods music collection i would be very appreciativ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron Manager Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yamipod pretty sure you can just install it on your iPod too so that you can connect it to any PC and transfer music from it. Lets you choose folder options if I recall as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsaicin Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I have an 80 gig classic, so this is my deal: I plug it up, open my computer, and select my ipod I enable viewing hidden folders, and go into ipod_control click on the music folder search -> artist/album wait a while drag and drop the files into itunes then itunes automatically formats the files according to the tags found on the file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glass Plate Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yeah classic example of why I don't use mac products, I drag and drop from my Creative Zen any time I want, on ANY computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets you choose folder options if I recall as well... Yep, I've used that to get music of a friends iPod onto my 'puter. Works a charm wait, can you not just install itunes, plug in ipod, set it to sync music and all the files will be transferred to your PC with correct names and tags etc. I could be wrong (I don't and will never own an iPod thankyouverymuch) but I think it'll sync the iPod with the blank media list on iTunes thus wiping the iPod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylonbitch Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 you take the output lead of your ipod to the 'left' and 'right' rca sockets labelled 'cassette in' on your amplifier. you play the loudest part of a track and set the 'record level' on the tapedeck along with the bias for the particular kind of d90 you are looking for. start the cassette recording and after about 8 secoinds, start your ipod. you can store about an album's worth on each side of one of these cassettes. and due to their compact nature, they don't take up much space. as for tagging, you can 'batch process' the tagging for each album simply by writing a list of the tracks present on the handy insert cards that come with most cassettes. i hope that helps.

Guest Great Maker ShaiHulud Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wow. Are you fucking kidding that you can't just copy files back and forth? My mp3 player just shows up as a USB drive... I never knew this about iPods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDO Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 there was a program called ipod disk or ipod drive or something like that, it was for mac but it did exactly what you want. there are some for pc too, just a matter of googling a bit. depending on your model you could install rockbox on it allowing you to use it as s disk drive eliminating the problem altogether.
