iPod-to-Computer
Copying
iPodRip
Whether it be an operating system upgrade that inadvertently trashes your hard
drive and takes your tunes with it or some other hardware calamity, iPodRip can
restore both your music and your sanity. The software can excavate your playlists
and other supported audio files from the iPod’s hard drive and copy them safely
back to your Mac OS X 1.2 or 10.3 system. It can even rescue voice memos you’ve
recorded with your iTalk or Belkin Voice Recorder microphone (page 260). The pro-
gram, shown in Figure 2-16, has a free trial version, but only costs $9 to buy—a
small price to pay if youre facing the prospect of re-ripping 500 CDs to restore your
music collection.
Copying Files to Windows
Getting songs from the iPod is also possible in Windows. You may not even need to
download extra freeware or shareware.
Note: When a free or shareware program is mentioned on these pages, however, you can download it
from the “Missing CD” page at www.missingmanuals.com.
The free way
Connect the iPod to the PC, and then proceed like this.
1. Open My Computer.
You can do this from an icon on your desktop or your Start menu.
Figure 2-16:
iPodRip offers a rather
comforting—and
familiar—interface. In
the program’s
preferences, you can
choose to import your
songs and playlists
into iTunes, onto your
desktop, or to the disk
or folder icon of your
choice. It, too, is
available from the
“Missing CD” page at
www.missingmanuals.com.
