I've been ripping my entire collection into apple lossless to update my library which used to consist of mostly mp3 files of different bitrates. After copying to my 5.5 g Video, I deleted the music files on my laptop to save space. Now that I've got a portable HDD, I want to use it to backup my new library.
However my experience with MediaMonkey (v3.0.6.1190) was a failure. I selected all the files on my iPod, clicked "send to folder (copy)" and they were shown to be sent to my portable drive in a few seconds (it can't be that quick can it?), but in fact no files were copied to the new destination.
Is there a way to do this at all?

You can download and use EphPod:
EphPod - iPod for Windows (and Linux) :: DOWNLOAD
But you have reripped your files from MP3 to Apple lossless?
Why?
There is no gain in this, only using more space for saving?
And with MP3 there is usually no problem with tags, but I know with wav-files tags is not transferred, not sure about Apple Lossless.
But you can rename the album/artist name in a single operation for each album, after copying.
The track names are there.
EphPod is free, and once you have learned to use it, it does it's work with no hassle.
