Getting music off of our Ipod is easier than I thought. Getting 1 specific song off of your Ipod is a little harder, but it can still be done for free.

• Plug in your Ipod
• In iTunes, enable disk use. This will turn your iPod into a USB drive
• Open up My Computer
• By default, the music on your iPod is hidden, let’s reveal all of the hidden files.
• Select Tools > Folder Options
• switch to the View tab
• select Show hidden files and folders
• click on the Apply button, then click on OK

• Open your iPod (mine is L:)
• go to the ipod_Control\Music directory
• Here you will find subfolders that contain your music

Although the file names are coded, if you have labeled your music, the ID3 tags will contain all of the necessary information (artist, album, song name, etc).

If you mouse over any of the files, you will see the ID3 tag information

If you want to, you can copy all of the music to your computer.

Of you can grab another piece of software to view all of the track information (tutorial to follow this weekend).
