Songs on Ipod but deleted from library and PC
I have songs on my Ipod that I have deleted from my library and from my PC completely.
How do I copy songs back from my Ipod to my PC? |

So there is not an easy way to do it without downloading a new program?

No, the iPod is designed to mirror your library (or whichever set of playlists or criteria you have chosen to use to sync with) As such, if you delete your entire library it would assume you wanted to do the same thing the next time you synced. Partially this is because otherwise, if you deleted a number of songs, the next time you synced it would have to ask you if you wanted to restore each individual song from your iPod.
The bottom line is that the Apple philosophy is that all your management for your iPod is done in iTunes, you then take the iPod away and use it, when you want to make changes it's done via iTunes. There is a very interesting article at RoughlyDrafted about how this makes their DRM model much easier to manage and control - although it doesn't make the case as to the relative merits of DRM - that's a different matter. "Why hasn't the iPod always synced in two directions? Well, the iPod is a dongle; it's ‘iTunes to go.’ As a simple device, the iPod has limited capacity to organize and sort playlists or perform other features of iTunes. The point of the iPod's design is to have all the work done in iTunes, and simply present it on the iPod." |

Now heres a suggestion. Connect ipod and quickly switch off options to Automatically update songs and set it to manual, before it gets a chance to go into auto mode.
Turn on Enable Disk Use. This enables you to access the ipod as if it were a portable hard disc drive. Go manually to the tracks you want back on your PC and copy them across, the n re-import them into itunes. Never tried this, but I reckon it would work! |
