Okay. So you’ve got your iPod and you want to take those songs and transfer them.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Go to anywhere on your computer and on the top bar, go Tools => Folder Options…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2: In Folder Options, go under the View tab and make sure “Show Hidden Files and Folders” is checked. Then click OK.
\n\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3: Connect your iPod and open up iTunes. Under options, make sure “Enable Disk Use” is enabled. Click Apply. Close iTunes.
\n\"\"
\n[Click to expand]<\/p>\n

Step 4: Navigate to your iPod in My Computer or whatever you use.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 5: Open the folder “iPod_Control”. Then go into the folder “iTunes”
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 6: Right mouse click “iTunesDB” and select “Open With…”
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 7: Select Notepad and click OK.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 8: So say I wanted to find the song “Winter Love”. Go Edit => Find…
\nSo, to find a song, type the song name with spaces between all the letters. If it has spaces, type 2 spaces where those spaces would be. So Winter Love would become “W i n t e r L o v e”.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 9: So if you look ahead of where we just searched, there’s a path that tells the iPod where that specific song is stored. In my case, it’s in “\/iPod_Control\/Music\/F08\/ASIX.mp3”.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 10: So just navigate to that location on your iPod and there it is.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 11: Open it just to make sure that’s the file you want. Then copy it to wherever you need it.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 12: When you’re done, either go back and disable disk use in iTunes, or do the following:
\nRight mouse click the middle icon in the next picture.
\n\"\"
\nSelect USB Mass Storage Device and click Stop.
\n\"\"
\nA new window opens up. Make sure “Apple iPod USB Device” is one of the things listed. Click OK.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

And you’re done. And by the way, it’s a good idea to keep your music backed up on your computer.<\/p>\n

Woow o_o It’s that complicated? I thought it was supposed to be some ordinary feature with iTunes…like a “click the ‘take song from iPod’ button”.
