Ipod Query

[Rodarian]

Hey ya all.

I recently got a new laptop... Now I want to transfer my precious ipod songs back into the laptop.. I know how to access the ipod song files via the hidden files. However the files are in gibbercode.


i.e


Aerith's Theme --->Ipod Yay!!

However...


Ipod (Aerith's Theme)----->Laptop _My Music----> (WYGH) Booo!!




Is there any way to get back the mp3 song listing.... Short of having to manual rewrite the file names! X_X

I know itunes automatically reads the files but if I wanted to send the files via msn... how the hell would I able to read which file is which?! :(

Try using a piece of software called Sharepod to copy the music. It has worked perfectly for me in the past and best of all the software is free.

The link is: SharePod (http://www.getsharepod.com)

That looks awesome. I was gonna come in here and tell you how I did it, but that involves renaming every one of your files because when they're put into your iPod they get weird four letter names like AZKE and JJMW

Thanks I'm going to try it now!

I just added SharePod to the "good bit of freeware" section as I could not see it included in the list.

Gosh I know this isn't freeware but if you have problems with sharepod (I did, as well as 'eph pod') pony up 10 bucks for Senuti. A youtuber named 'soldier' has posted a video podcast covering it. Again shame on me for recommending paid software but ephpod and sharepod left out half of my songs during transfer, giving me only a red error bar next to them. Ugn!!
