IPod help

[~katie~]

Basically my old laptop with all my itunes broke so have an new laptop, but how do i put new music onto my ipod without deleting all the stuff thats already on there? I've googled this question and i am aware there are ipod to computer download software but they all charge and as im a poor student i want to know if there's away around this before i use it as my last resort, not really keen to re-rip over 100 albums either.


thankyou

basically, when you plug it in it should ask you if you want to sync your iPod with the current library, and you should uncheck it so it wont undelete it.

I think thats it anyway.

if worst comes to the worst, there are free programmes that can get your music off your iPod onto your comptuer. google them
sorry i cant eb more help.

You could reveal the hidden files in your iPod.

It saves them all as randomly named (as far as I can figure) itunes files.

You won't have a nice neat lot of music in terms of your files in windows, but you can add them all back onto your iTunes library.

That's what I did anyway.

It's a bit of a pain, but if you save them all on your laptop, it should work.

^ there are programes that help decode the names of it, for free, just google it.

icant remember a good one off thetop of my headf though.

Before you connect your iPod to iTunes, go to iTunes and somewhere in one of the menus is an option to manually manage your music when connecting an iPod. Just make sure it's not going to sync your iPod. That way when you plug it in, the music already on there will stay and you can add more stuff manually.
