Music from iPod to PC?
Hey all, I got an iPod Nano (gen 2) for X-mas this year. I'm going through to figure it out, but damned if I can find how to take music off it and put it on my computer. I can see it's not natively supported in iTunes, anyone know of good third party programs? Thanks.

My sister uses a program called ephPod, I think its a damn fine little program (just so long as you don't mind converting your WMAs to MP3 first)

You can't remove music from the ipod? You sure you didn't sync it to itunes? Leave it unsynced and just click and drag (works on my gen 1 nano...)

Nope, not sync'd, tried it on two computers. From what I have read, it has to do with what version of iTunes you have, older versions (that don't support my player) allow you to drag and drop it. I have found a program called XPlay that lets me do what I want, without effecting the names and tags of the file, so I'm using that for now. Not perfect, but its pretty cheap, and does what I ask it to. May purchase it when the trial runs out. If anyone finds a free program that does the same thing (and supports new iPod's) I'm all ears. Thanks for the help everyone. |

If you enable hidden folders... you can browse through your Ipod like any hard drive/usb drive etc and find all of your music files  That's what I did when my hdd went tits up and lost my music - got it all back from the Ipod (I have 5th Gen 30GB Ipod). |

Does it maintain the file names and tags? I had noticed you could do that, but the file names look numeric, so I left them alone. |

The filenames are numeric... but if you import them into itunes/wmp (only two I tried) the file names are attached to the files somewhere and are registered correctly by those programs. |

Not that bad... you'd never notice unless you use really expensive headphones. |
