How to Copy my iPod Music from my MAC to my new PC?

MOD · April 2010

Just tried a bunch of new software online and I'm not finding any that works. I have an older iPod that works with my Macbook, but now I have a PC and want to transfer my music there too.

Any help? I'm willing to pay a small fee, but we are talking about Days and Days of music files. Once again my iPod is formatted for a Mac so when I plug it into my PC it requires reformatting, which would wipe all the music I want to transfer.

have you tried ephPod?

that works pretty well

other than that Copy Trans Suite is great but it costs about $40

You want your Mac music on your PC? Or you want to have your iPod tied to your PC?

There's no way to tie it to a new computer without wiping out the music and re-adding it from the new computer, I believe.

does the macbook still work?

if so, use " ipod rip" to get it onto the mac, then an external hard drive to store then transfer

But wont the external hard drive need reformatting into PC "land" therefore erasing the content?

I seem to have found a software that will the transfer, but I have to pay for it $$$ but the trial version of 10 songs seems to work. This is all really just to save my music library, which is incredibly large (I worked at a record/cd store through out college and I'm a music fiend) I have it on my iPod and Mac, but the Mac is old and crashes a lot so I'd like it all duplicated on my new PC for safe keeping.

I know that going from PC to Mac, you can just transfer the files using Migration Assistant and connecting the two computers via firewire.

Do PCs not have a way to do this?

Install EphPod on your PC
http://www.ephpod.com/

plugin the iPod

you should be able to just drag and drop the songs wherever you want

Won't iTunes on a PC automatically download/transfer?

I use the program Macdrive on all my PC's. The program allows me to use any mac drive or ipod on my pc's that heave been specifically formatted foe the mac.

PM me if you still have not found a solution.

Whoa whoa whoa

If you have a wireless router you can do it through the network. I have this setup in my apt and did it myself, but I don't know the process well enough to explain it to you
