-- Posted by bballaSR19 at 6:06 am on July 19, 2008 I have a laptop now and i have about 2600 songs on my ipod classic, and i was wondering what the best way to transfer those songs onto the new computer and into itunes. Is there a program that works well, or can i just take them right off of the ipod hard drive. Thanks -- Posted by its only me at 6:08 am on July 19, 2008 do u not just need a USB lead? thats all i use to get songs feom my mp4 - isnt it the same idea? -- Posted by chnll671 at 6:10 am on July 19, 2008 i know how!! -- Posted by chnll671 at 6:14 am on July 19, 2008 make sure you can view hidden files on your laptop then go to your ipods HD and the folder that is hidden (but viewable) is the one to open then go to the music folder and since you have like 2000+ there are going to be a bunch of folders F01 ... F12 etc open each copy and paste (not a shortcut) files to folder on your laptop -- Posted by Cruizer at 6:34 am on July 19, 2008 theres a program called idump which does it for you just type it into google -- Posted by gman101 at 6:51 am on July 19, 2008 just use the USB lead. -- Posted by bballaSR19 at 8:08 am on July 19, 2008 i am transfering from an ipod that is set up to an xp pc to a macbook pro.
