ok. so i lost about 3000 songs today and have no idea where they went.
i was going to use CopyPod to get the songs back on my computer from my ipod.
but it wont work for some reason.
ive looked and tried many programs that do the same thing but all fail or you have to pay for.

anybody have any recommendations on programs that i could copy
my files from my ipod back to my computer with?

thanks.

podplayer is good. not working right now with my Vista though. Music rescue works too. ipodsoft.com is here you can find podplayer. music rescue i just stumbled upon one day.

If they are not showing up on the ipod besides the root folder you are pretty much out of luck. I had the same problem and spent about 3 hours looking and couldnt find anything.

YAMIPOD. I lost my music but it found it and it worked fine. But it takes a LONG time.

you dont have to download anything
the files are hidden
follow these steps if you still need help:
go to my computer> open ipod (E: )
then go to the toolbar in the folder tools>folder options
once that is open go to view tab>find on the list 'view hidden files' and select

open 'ipod control' folder>open 'music'> drag and save onto computer
the songs are all in a 4 letter format, but when you re-load them into itunes, the names will be there.

Well sounds like you been trying free programs but most of them dont work that well if you are really serious wanting back the songs to your computer I recommend you use Virtual iPod and it only $14 you can get a copy at HERE and it really works very well

you will need to have a 3rd party tool to help you copy songs in your ipod to computer as itunes blocks the ipod-to-computer transfer...see http://www.ipodtocomputer.net for help..get ipod to computer transfer, it's a shareware cost $20..it can copy songs, videos and playlists from ipod to pc only 2 clicks, works great for me.
