Old IPOD Shuffle - Can I get Music Off it ?

eddiem74

I have an original IPOD Shuffle, which has some recently purchased music on it from iTunes, however the issue is, my hard disk crashed and I had not backed up those recent songs.:eek:

If I install iTunes on the new hard disk, and connect the Ipod it, it will synch and wipe the songs off, I believe/think.

Do you know of any way to retrieve the songs or are they lost ?

Thanks !

Install Sharepod onto your shuffle and it'll let you copy music from the iPod to your PC.

iTunes will prompt to transfer your purchases from the iTunes store to the new iTunes library. You can do this on up to 5 libraries.

Quotin myself from another thread

there is 2 ways of getting your music back.

1.(easy way) Download a program to do it for you. Iagent and idump are two programs that should do it(google them)

2.(makes you feel like your hacking kind of a way!) Install itunes on a pc.

go into itunes options and tell it to "orgainize your music collection" AND tell it to "copy music into your itunes library".

Plug in your ipod, if it automatically updated with your old pc make sure you answer negatively to the question about linking with this library, i.e tell it to move nothing over

go to my computer and click on the ipod. up the top of the folder click tools>folder option

Click the view tab and select "show hidden files and folders"

now go back to itunes click file.add folder to library

navigate to your ipod and select the music folder

let it do its thing!!

Any more question just ask
