pryomancer Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Nothing you can do, they are different libraries. iPod's are stupid in that you can't just take music from any pc. Unless there are hacks, none I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purfishx Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Can you like send the songs from your ipod to your pc? Then you could do the erase thing but you would get the new songs + your old ones.

Nom Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Put everything in your library on a CD, resync the iPod, get all the music back off the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klankaos Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 There's an easier way. First off, you have to realize that you can put songs on an iPod in two different formats: ones that you can play back on the iPod, and data files, which can't be played on your iPod, but can be transfered just like you'd use a thumb drive. To transfer songs, first: 1. Open to My Computer with your iPod plugged in. 2. Open your iPod folder (one of the hard drives in My Computer). 3. Find the folder your songs from iTunes are stored in (if you can't find one, simply create a new folder on the desktop, and drag and drop the files from iTunes into that folder). 4. Drag and drop that folder into the open iPod folder (the one you found on My Computer). 5. Unplug your iPod. 6. Plug your iPod into your new computer. 7. Find the iPod folder in My Computer. 8. Drag and drop the music folder out of your iPod folder onto the desktop. 9. Open iTunes. 10. Click File>Add Folder to Library 11. Add the music folder to your new computer's iTunes library. 12. Sync the new songs to your iPod. Hope this helps you out a little. Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^ How's that easier than downloading a program and then click+drag? This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^ How's that easier than downloading a program and then click+drag? Well, it's not easier, but you don't have to download anything, which can be a problem for some people (I know my computer used to be so overloaded with stuff it could hardly move). Also, some people just don't trust online downloads. Anyways, it's not as hard as it looks, I broke the steps down into the smallest chunks I could. It just looks long, half the steps are just opening certain folders. =D EDIT: My method's more useful, too - you can transfer anything you want, not just songs, as long as it fits on your iPod.

I've been looking for something like this for a bit now (that didn't only do a few songs or something stupid like that) so I'm glad to have found one now. Been meaning to get some of the older songs on my iPod that didn't make it over to my new PC onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
