Tip: You can send a freshly created playlist and its accompanying songs right to the iPod by clicking Send
in the MusicMatch Jukebox Plus Playlist window.
To delete songs or playlists from the iPod, right-click the item and choose Re-
move from the shortcut menu, or click the unwanted material and then click
Remove in the Portables Plus window. (Deleting a playlist doesn’t remove its
songs from your iPod.)
Tip: You can change your iPod’s name to something more exotic or memorable than just “iPod” or “[Your
name]’s iPod” in a couple of different places. In iTunes, click its icon in the Source list once to highlight it,
pause, and click again to open the renaming box. Type away.
In MusicMatch Jukebox, in the iPod Options box (Figure 2-10), click the iPod tab and type in a new handle
in the box marked Device Name.
The Unspeakable Act: iPod-to-Computer Copying
The iPod was designed to be the destination of a one-way trip for your tunes: music
slides down the cable to the iPod, but songs on the player never make the trip back
to the Mac or PC.
This design was perfectly intentional on the part of its creators. As noted earlier,
Apple’s position appears on a sticker on every iPod: “Don’t steal music.” If the iPod
let you copy music both ways, people might be tempted to turn the device into a
pocket music-sharing service, capable of copying free copyrighted songs from com-
puter to computer.
The truth is, though, that not everyone who wants to upload songs from the iPod to
a computer is stealing music. You may perfectly have legitimate reasons for wanting
to be able to do so.
For example, say your computer’s hard drive self-destructs, vaporizing the 945 MP3
files that you’ve made from your paid-for CD collection. You legally own those cop-
ies. Shouldn’t you have the right to retrieve them from your own iPod?
Most people would answer “yes.” Some might even thump their fists on the table for
emphasis.
And then they would clear their throats and ask, “Well, how can I do it, should I ever
need to copy files off my iPod?”
Note: Once again, the following methods are printed here not to encourage you to steal music, but
instead to help you back up and manage the songs that you already own.
