How To Transfer iPod Songs Into iTunes Music Library Using iPod Access


How To Transfer iPod Songs Into iTunes Music Library Using iPod Access By Daniel Dwase

To transfer your music between your iPod and your PC/Mac you must set your iPod to update manually.

This allows you to add or delete songs from iTunes or from your iPod. This tutorial... How to update your iPod manually using iTunes will show you how to do it.

I used iPod Access to transfer songs from my iPod into my iTunes music library because I wanted to backup my songs and this page shows you how to do it as well.

iPod Access works on both PC/Mac platforms and supports Mac OS X 10.1 or later and Windows XP or 2000.

Pros -- Free Trial Version:

  • You can copy songs from your iPod to PC/Mac
  • Create a full-backup for all your songs
  • Add selected songs to your iTunes Music Library
  • Can recover songs from your damaged iPod.

Cons -- Free Trial Version:

  • Only 5 songs can be added at a time… not for you if you are looking to backup all your music files in case your iPod crashes.

Remember... you are limited to adding 5 songs at a time with the FREE Version but the FULL Version offers much more.

To transfer iPod songs into iTunes music library ...

1. Download and install iPod Access (update iPod access has been removed from its location by its publisher). Try searching Google for "iPod Access" -- you'll need this software to transfer iPod songs into iTunes.

2. Launch iPod Access and make sure iTunes is closed on your PC/Mac.

3. From the 'File' menu select 'Find All iPods'. This will locate your iPod folder and retrieve all info... including songs and podcasts found on it.

---Because you are limited to adding only 5 songs at a time, I found it very tiresome, but hey... it's free so it's worth the effort to add your songs five at a time---

4. Select your first 5 songs by holding down the 'Ctrl' button on your keyboard and left-clicking on each song.

You're done selecting your songs right... remember only 5 songs at a time... or you'll get an error message asking you to buy the full version.

I recommend buying the full version only if you have over 500 songs on your iPod… or if you're in for the cheap stuff like me... stick with the FREE trial version.

5. Launch iTunes... select 'Preferences' from under the 'Edit' menu.

7. Check 'Keep iTunes Music folder organized' and 'Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library'

8. Go back to iPod Access, and click 'Add to iTunes' at the top of the menu with your songs still selected...

and... as if by magic... your songs will be transferred into your iTunes music library :o)

Testimonials...
OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was on it when it crashed. I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they do not make the black nanos anymore. I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the problem.
Thank you.
Buddy Kniffen, Midland, Texas

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
Elizabeth, Palmerston, North New Zealand
