Re: [ARSCLIST] Recommended software to make an iPod dump its library to iTunes on a second computer



Thanks Jeff. That one warns about incompatibility with the newest pods.

Anyone try this one:

seems like just the ticket but I'd hate to screw up either the pod or the computer.

EphPod can do exactly what you want and is freeware. I've had a few hiccups using it but in general it works very well.

Hi All:

OK, now here's the question at hand. There seem to be several programs out there that will let me connect up my iPod to second computer and dump its music library into that computer's iTunes library, rather than over-write the iPod with music from what's already on that computer. What I'd like to do is sync up the iTunes at both work and home with the iPod being the sync'ing medium. Santa arrived early here with an 80-gig iPod, which holds my entire tunes library, so I can carry it from the organized computer (at home) to the disorganized computer (at work) and what I'd like to do is make the work iTunes library identical to home, and further make it so I can rip from CD at either location and the pod would act like a PDA, keeping both libraries in sync.

Anyone else doing this? What are you using. All my computers are WindowsXP.

Thanks in advance and please feel free to ping me off-list if you think this is too far off-topic.

PS -- I am impressed with the audio quality of this 80-gig iPod. I think Apple must have listened carefully to all the bitching about the Mini and the previous generation or two big pods and gone back to better audio hardware. The replaces an old second-gen 20-gig unit that I always liked sound-wise and I think this new one sounds better, both on earbuds and plugged into the line in on the computer.
