How do I get music OFF my iPod? This guide will show you how to do it
Why would I want to do that anyway?
How do I get music OFF my iPod? Imagine your computer crashes, you bought a new one, or for some reason you need to use another or a new installation of iTunes. Transferring songs TO the iPod is easy, but if you want to do it the other way around you might run into problems. Apple is spending a lot of time making this hard to do. Probably to make RIAA happy, who knows... This guide will show you how you can get the songs back again.
iLinkPod
This is the free alternative. iLinkPod gives you direct permanent access to the hidden folders in your iPod where the music is stored. This application will not modify anything on your iPod, this means everything stays intact. iLinkPod also have a "one-click" backup feature that backups your entire iPod for you if you wish to do so. You can find the application here. Make sure you read the instructions on that website.
Senuti
This application is not free, it costs $18 but you also get a 30-day trial before you decide if it is worth buying it or not. Senuti is a stylish and neat application that will unlock your iPod. It is really fast because it reads a little file on your iPod which contains information about every file and playlist on your iPod. The interface is really easy to use and pleasing for the eyes. The application is definitely worth the $18 it costs to buy. You can download Senuti here.
