copying files from iPod to PC hard drive?

[slackerinabox]

Is there any easy way to do this? I know I can unhide the drive but the iPod seemed to have renamed my music random file names. Is there any application (Windows) that copies the sounds as they're listed in iTunes?

Thanks!

You may not steal music because you're to dumb to figure out how.

no sadly you have discovered the one MAJOR downfall of the ipod. They like to regulate what you can and cannot do with your own music. GRRRRR!

Only bad thing is that it costs $15.

If you are just looking to copy the music to your hardrive and then to another ipod, this will work. other than that, you just have to put up with the random numbers and letters it assigns each song. Its lame.

sharepod will do it and it can run right off the ipod (drop the .exe in the ipod and you'll always have it)

I use podworks on the mac, didn't have anything for the pc but sharepod should work with windows

The truth is that any decent media management software should be able to do this, by checking the id3 tags.

I use Media Center

anapod explorer also works, but is not free

You could also use winamp and the ipod plugin. Works great!

just copy them then run them through a program that organizes by id3 tags...i haven't tried this but i think it should work

Yep. Use Tag & Rename to rename all your files.
