Reason i ask is my laptop died, quickly followed by my backup external drive, so the only place my legal and Ahem not so legal songs exist is on my ipod, and I'm a bit releuctant to connect it back up to my new laptop in case it all goes tits up and I've only got 4 songs left. Cheers in advance.

Is there no life at all in the drives in your lappie or external sutton? Title: Re: Ipod to computer Post by: Frigby Daser on Thursday, February 3, 2011, 13:15:45 Anyone know if its possible to transfer spotify songs - offline downloads - to itunes and my old bog standard ipod? Looking for a way to get free music (except for the tenner a month for spotify premium), without resorting to limewire and the computer raping that ensues...

No, even tried the old sticking in the fridge for 24 hours which has worked for me before, dead as a dodo. I've got most backed up again to DVD so it's only time it'll cost me really. Title: Re: Ipod to computer Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, February 3, 2011, 13:22:56 I used a piece of software which I can't remember the name of.
But it worked, and was easy enough so it CAN be done. Title: Re: Ipod to computer Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, February 3, 2011, 17:45:55 Sharepod

Shame, I've got one of those sata docks, plus a usb thingy for IDE's Title: Re: Ipod to computer Post by: Sippo on Monday, February 21, 2011, 15:52:25 Any suggestions/recommendations for Iphone to Mac OS 10.6?

Title: Re: Ipod to computer Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Saturday, March 5, 2011, 10:32:34 Thanks STFC in B - I understand what to do, it's just that I get the impression from reading all the stuff about it that it would replace itunes as my default library/player in my pc, and not sure I want that.
I shall also be terrified when I plug my ipod in to the pc that somehow I will wipe it clean (over 5000 tunes) and be left with nothing!! :D Title: Re: Ipod to computer Post by: stfcinbmth on Saturday, March 5, 2011, 11:42:50 You have it installed as well as itunes. It's not a player just a means of backing up and copying music to the ipod quickly rather than the long winded pfaffing around associated with itunes. JJ will sort you out anyhow. However if you have iTunes already installed go to Edit-Preferences-Devices and tick Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically(do this before connecting ipod) then you shouldn't lose a thing
