Top Unlimited iPod Downloads – iPod Music, iPod Movies, iPod Videos, iPod Games, iPod TV Shows And iPod Software

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 people suspect that Apple took these steps to protect music from being illegally traded. But what about people who wan to transfer their own music between their own computers using their iPod and iTunes? This isn’t wrong or illegal!

Therefore, transferring songs from your iPod to your laptop or your computer at work is probably out of the question as well.

Sadly, iTunes on your new computer has been set to instinctively replace your current iTunes library. Because of this, an unused, empty iTunes library will take the place of all of your music in your present iPod library. This is crazy!

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. It’s even more complicated than that, but you see the idea.

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 of these programs includes features that iTunes hasn’t yet included in their own software. And they cost between $20 and $30a real bargain, particularly when compared to losing your entire iPod library!
