fixed something I didn't even know was broken. now to find 350$...]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/
2: open up the terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)

3: in Terminal type:

cd /Volumes [hit return]
ls [hit return]

3b: look for the name of your iPod, then select and copy the name

3c: in Terminal type:

cd [paste iPod name here]/iPodControl/Music [hit return]
pwd [hit enter, make sure that you're in the music folder before you proceed]

3d: Music might be music instead... this makes a difference.

4: in terminal type:

cp -R * ~/Desktop/newMusic [hit return]

5: This will take a while. You'll know it's done when you get a new line in the terminal.

6: drag the newMusic folder onto your itunes library. You'll notice that the contents of that folder are not organized in any logical way. Doing this iTunes bit will re-arrange them by artist/album/song so you can find everything.

7: OPTIONAL: before step 1, create a new user so you have a fresh iTunes to work with. Perform steps 1-6 as that user. When you're done with 6, quit iTunes and drag the new user's /User/newUser/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder to /Users/Shared. You now have a neatly organized music directory that your normal user can access so you can cherry pick what you drag into your own iTunes library.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/

Works like a charm (i haven't tested in 4.7 yet though)

Oh, that the whole HexEdit thing was brilliant. Thanks!]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/
I personally cannot wait for an open source iTunes project with open source iPod software. Then maybe finally we will have cue points and album art - even on our old 1st gen iPods.

The iPod is great hardware but we need to take back the software.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/
You can use TinkerTool or a similar utility to set the Mac OS X Finder to show hidden files and then you should be able to navigate to the Music folder hidden on your iPod to copy whatever you want off of it. If you prefer to leave show hidden items off then after you have found the folder you can make an alias to it. Also once you know the path to the folder you can use the Go to Folder command in the Finder to go to /Volumes/iPodName/path/to/music/folder.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/Now how do I get files off my iRiver?

And it has saved my music library before when I did have to reinstall my OS.
Also, if you use a PC, you pretty much have to get a USB2.0 split cable, b/c the iPod will drain its battery *fast* while it is syncing... unless your fireware port provides power pins.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/

Just drag your iPod onto the Omniweb icon and it you can view the folders of music within as hypertext links. Find the song, right-click and "Save Linked File As".

Not great for transferring alot of music - finding a particular song takes patience - but it works in a pinch.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/

Do this:
- get iPod Download from some place posted here,
- get HexEditor as mentioned in above article,
- install iPod Download as usual
- launch HexEditor,
- open the installed iPod Download Plugin from "/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins"
- search for string "iPod" and change to something else; i.e. "iPud"
- save and launch iTunes.. voila!

Have Phun.

Did anyone respond to "Wondering" about transferring files from a Mac iPod to a Windows drive? Is it possbile? Any suggestions on doing it?

BTW, this linear "comment" format is wonky. I cannot respond directly to a particular post and I cannot find direct responses to particular posts. So, I leave here with nothing. Have you considered a bulletin board application for your comment strings? phpbb is a good place to start.
