The Road Not Taken

I recently was faced with getting the music from two iPods (one with 3500 songs on it and the other with 300 songs on it) onto the same laptop and then syncing one iPod with iTunes so that it now contains almost 4000 songs. Still with me? Then read on…

Unfortunately this is not as easy as it may sound. iPods and iTunes are set up so that you can not just copy the music from an iPod to iTunes. Therefore I used a third party utility to help me do this. For ten pounds you can get the full version of this program which will give you advanced copy features. Anyway…

For those of you out there who may come across the same situation I recommend PodUtil (http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php) to get songs from another persons iPod into iTunes.

Please note that the autosync feature MUST be disabled in iTunes or you risk your iTunes playlists being overwritten with the freshly attached iPod. If you have the autosync feature turned on you will receive a warning before the syncing takes place but BE CAREFUL.
