Title: Import from Ipod to computer
Post by: seawolf on August 30, 2004, 06:55:19 pm
Hello all -

I have tried searching several strings, and not found any messages on the board that address this - so if it was indeed covered elsewhere, please simply drop a link.

I had to reformat my computer due to some software issues, and unfortunately was not able to back up my music files before doing so.  I do, however, have them all on my iPod.

What I'd like to do is use the iPod to replace the songs that were wiped on my harddrive.

I've tried doing a sync in MC, with the boxes "sync data to MC" and "all files" checked - no help.  I've tried right clicking the iPod and choosing "Rebuild Database from Handheld Player" - nada.

Can someone please give some guidance?  Thanks.

Here is the info from MC:

seawolf,

Try clicking on the iPod drive letter and then right click on the displayed files in the right pane and select 'Download to PC'.  This will copy the files to your PC and then you will need to import the files into MC.  You can then use MC to organize the files into folders based on tag info.
