Yet again, another iPod with new computer dilemma. Transfer?

1 Answer

Answer :

Depending on what OS you’re running; there’s a few different programs you can use to get it all off. So far, with my similar problem I’ve been able to do it for free each time with some creative googling and using trials. You may have to take everything off 50 items at a time (then just click later on the prompt) but it’ll get the job done. After losing my library 4 times I gave up on the headache and just update my external HDD with my music every few months, I believe I used “Music Rescue” for the mac OSX. (the trial that asks you to buy it every 50 items) I’m super tired/stressed, sorry for awkward grammar.
