Hey guys, I have a question for y'all: How do you copy/paste songs from the iPod to iTunes?

*sucks at this technology business*

If you mean how you can get songs from the iPod to your computer -- as far as I know you can't within the limits of the program. There has to be some behind-the-scenes fiddling/cracking involved. :(

There is! See below. :P

Behind-the-scenes fiddling, ho!

This is really, really complicated to do on a Mac, but on Windows: make sure you can see hidden files, and also that your iPod's got that setting enabled that lets you use it like a hard disk. Then: open it up, and you'll see a (hidden) folder called 'IPOD_CONTROL' (I think. Something similar anyway.) -- inside that, there's a 'Music' folder, and all your music's in there. The file names are v. messed up, though -- you'll probably have to search the folder for what you want (the Search thinger >> contains text '[artist or song title]' will usually work.).

WHEE, YOU WIN AT LIFE. I BET MAC HATES YOU BECAUSE YOU SUBVERTED THEIR SYSTEM BUT YOU STILL WIN AT LIFE. :)

I have finally finished & posted my fic -- *stabs it* -- so I hope you manage to conquer Ten sometime soon. ♥! (Be nice to Noldo, Ten! She has the Ultimate Authorial Power, you had better watch out!)

WELL OBVSLY. MAC CLEARLY HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST ME WAITAMINUTE WHY AM I TYPING THIS ON A MAC? THEY'RE GOING TO GET ME.

& yes yes I saw that fic and will Comment on when not wrestling with my own, aaaagh. SHUT UP TEN AND GO AWAY. I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT SAM WINCHESTER NOT YOUUUUU do you know, I've written exactly ten words, but created a playlist and stared miserably at GTalk and tried to find people to talk to and read a physics text. I get so terribly productive when I'm failing at fic.

THEY'VE ALREADY GOT YOU, NOLDO. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT.

Hey, don't worry about me until you worry about yours. :p DOWN, TEN, DOWN! Playlists = good. I have playlists for all of my fics. :) (Playlists are only good when they culminate in the writing of fics, though.)

Oooh yayz, thank you! I'll give it a try sometime later and tell you how it went. :)

Or, aside from

ressie_noldo's method, there's some software that'll do it all for you automatically--iTunes Transfer is what I have. Not sure if any of it is availabe online, but I could try to upload mine somewhere for you this weekend.

Oh, that'd be awesome, it's my dad the one that wants to fiddle with his iPod, and he's even less savvy about this stuff than I am XD
