^ Good to know an app exists for that.

 

Can you pay online and just download it? or just pick it up somewhere?

 

Yeah, you can download it from the internet. It's published by Wide Angle Software. Just do a search for iPod Copy and I'm sure you'll find it. Of course you'll need a credit card to purchase online.

 

there is a way to get everything off an iPod onto a computer, its pretty easy, but if you not computer savy you could ruin something, or delete you iPod, (auto sync is your biggest concern, ALWAYS turn it off.)

basically you set you iPod up as an external hard drive (its an option in iTunes, and it does not affect how it works, it just lets you put file on there if you want as well as music) then you plug it into your new computer, with auto sync OFF!

go to control panel (classic view), go to folder options, click veiw in the top tabs, go down to the advanced options list. click the hidden files and folders on the list, click show hidden files and folders.

now go to my computer, your iPod should show up as a drive. you music is some where in there, i forgot what folder, but am pretty sure it was a strait forward name, but all your songs are just file names like CXPT or BRTL its random as hell and you will never figure it out, just copy the main music folder to your new computer (C (there will be a folder that has some sub folders, in those folders there are your songs, my iPod has about 30 sub folders if i remeber and i have a about 7000 songs, i dont know how many sub folders you will have)

you have to get all the music, you can't pick and choose just yet, I tunes will show you the track names and every thing. Oh, and i have not figured out a way around the music bought from iTunes, you can still get it, but you will still have to actiavate the new comp.

hope this helps, don't waste 20 bucks on a program that does that EXACT same thing.

oh and do NOT mess around with hidden folders in C: drive unless you know what they are, bad things could happen.

 

or.....


just put your old HD in you new comp, but you might not want to go tearing apart you nice new computer. (I built my so i was already tearing into it.)

that what i ended up doing when i got a new one, i just stuck my old hard drive in there as an extra so i still could get to all my files, I tried the remote desk top thing for a while, but got sick of having to turn on to computers every time.
