Your ipod is basically a portable hard-drive. You'd probably have to do option 2.

Don't you have to keep your music on your PC anyway so its just a case of plugging a new ipod in and then syncing the new one to the existing songs saved on the hard drive?

Plug it in and it will say something like "There are files on this ipod that aren't on the pc, do you want to transfer them". If it doesn't, try enabling disk mode and treating it like a datapen.

You need to get some kind of software I used a programme called IsyncTunes as you cannot directly transfers music from your ipod to a new ituns library.

I'm a wannabe nerd, so will pipe up and tell you you can do it via SSH without any explanation as to how exactly you do it, or what SSH is.

I think that's my hourly quota of pointless replies put to bed for the next 60 minutes.

It's simply short for Secure Shell. Think of it like working in dos to access things and do stuff.

I have never owned and ipod and have never done it, but i came across it on a geek forum i frequent, where i was made aware of SSH being used to copy an ipod to a pc.

Unfortunately, as i said, it was a pointless post. Ridiculously so in fact.

I'm sure you could Google ssh ipod and find the solution.

Not being familiar with an ipod, why can't you just access it as an external disk drive and copy the music across?

See Simon has shown you don't need to listen to twats like me trying to look clever. Cheesy

For all the fuss people make about this obvious problem (which i know fuck all about), that solution seems amusingly easy.

Google is your friend.
