Hey guys,
What's the best way of getting all your music/video etc off of your ipod before syncing it to a new machine? My mate bought a new laptop last week after his old one’s hard drive died and now he wants to be able to use his ipod on it…
I recommended him winamp; I used this app a while back for a similar situation I was faced with. I just copied everything off the ipod to my computer, flattened the ipod during a fresh sync and then copied all my stuff back afterwards. That was fine then but I tried the same thing with him last night and it would only let us copy so much, some stuff clearly didn't copy – there was a significant difference in the number of files on the ipod and on the computer
Has anything changed with the current gen ipods (I think mine was 4th?) or has the process changed in anyway? Eg. is there an easier way of doing what I'm proposing?
Any ideas?
