Easily copy music from Ipod to computer w/o extra software! FREE (Win 7/Vista/XP)

This shows how to take music off your ipod without downloading any extra software. Note: When you copy the music folders from your ipod, to your computer, some of the folders that are created may be empty, depending on the amount of music you have.

Does not work for Ipod Touch or Iphone

***STEP 8 CORRECTION*** In step 8, it says to copy the “music” folder. Do not do this, instead open up the folder where you will see files named f00, f01, f02 etc. copy these subfolders, not the music folder. I hav been finding that people who copy the music folder, instead of the subfolders, have been experiencing problems. Please copy the subfolders inside of the “music” folder. Thank you to all who helped me discover this, and no i do not know why this is the case.

**STEP 8 CORRECTION VERSION 2** Also, this has been suggested by someone, and it may do the trick if the first correction doesnt. “all you have to do is look at the folder while under “my computer”. right click on the folder titled “music”, then click properties. Uncheck “Read only” and “hidden”. now go to itunes and add the folder to the library ” If you do this, then follow step 8 as normal, copying the “music” folder.

*If Ipod does not show up in Windows Explorer*
