-- Posted by hI jAMES at 2:31 pm on July 30, 2008 My ipod isn't showing the music files that I have on there.  They are not hidden.  I know they're on there because when I clicked the properties of the player, it said so much amount of space was taken up, which was almost all of it.  So how do i get them to show up? -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 2:32 pm on July 30, 2008 Go to My Computer and view the drive the iPod is hooked up into, click on it, treat it the same you would a hard drive and they should show up. -- Posted by HXC at 2:32 pm on July 30, 2008 it could possibly be they are the wrong format. did you buy these songs from itunes store? -- Posted by hI jAMES at 2:34 pm on July 30, 2008 Quote: from HXC at 5:32 pm on July 30, 2008 it could possibly be they are the wrong format. did you buy these songs from itunes store?
