I have some music on my ipod mini that got erased accidentally out of my itunes music library (it is not purchased music, it was downloaded from cd.) is there a way to copy the music from my ipod back into my music library?

no im afrade there is not . i read that the ipod has a built in copy protection mecanisim that prevents music from being copied back to a computer... why they do stuff like that is a mystery to me...its an asspain.

this is why i havent bout one .

pretty stupid isent it...

Thank you for responding! I also found something called CopyPod that lets you copy from your Ipod back. I haven't tried it yet, there is a free trial on the site, but I will. I just want my own music back, i'm not violating copyright law or anything. thanks!

Broken Helix 1.0 is supposed to be free. Check it out also. No doubt some will be better than others or have more options or be faster, etc.

great, thank you.

This page from Wired magazine rates some programs http://www.wired.com/news/technology/1,72132-0.html

also there is another program called Sharepod,

hello

Gamal, Take a look at this thread.How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes).

Also if you go to Search Upper right corner and type in iTunes or iPod, you will find tons of info on this subject. Hope this helps.

i'm having the same problem. did you get yours solved? if so, how did you do it?

For songs ... simply drag & drop them from your download folder to iTunes. Easy as that. iTunes for windows will import mp3, m4a, mp4, wma, wav, aiff ... but will not import mp3pro, ogg vorbis (unless you get a special 3rd party plug-in), or RP (real player) files.

Also, see the LinkBacks & Similar Threads listings at bottom of page.

For macs, you can use Senuti to transfer music from iPod to your iTunes library. If you have a PC, you can use EphPod. You can find both of these programs if you go on google and type them in.

To retrieve and copy my ipod music, I have found TuneAid. Thinks it's actually the best tool. Mac and PC compatible, and supports iphone and ipod touch. Copy back to itunes all data, playlists, playcounts, ratings
