I recently bought a new computer, and I'de like to transfer all of the music from my ipod onto my new computer. I've tried a few programs and senuti works decently but I've found sometimes it misses a few songs. Does anyone know of anything better for mac that is free? thanks.

Wouldn't ITunes work??

I think the issue is that an ipod can't normally be used to transfer songs from one computer to another xephyr.

That doesn't make sense...you can't transfer music from one computer to an IPod and then transfer the music from the IPod to another computer?? ...or am I just misunderstanding the question??

Nope. Not with stock software. iTunes is very purposefully set up so that it only syncs in one direction.

Wow that sucks....especially if your computer crashes and you didn't backup your music and its all on your IPod...another reason to not get an IPod

I used senuti for tiger. I recently used a demo version of something for leo but I forgot what it is I could only do 5 songs per click but it worked well...

It was the fourth link when I searched for "ipod to mac" on google. Maybe try a little searching next time.

If you know your way around the Terminal, you can work around this by checking "Enable Disk Use" and trawling through the invisible folder /Volumes/<iPod name>/iPod_Control/Music.

I ended up using senuti and it worked fine. You just can't send it straight to itunes because then it will skip songs. So I just sent it to a folder on the desktop then dragged that into itunes. Didn't miss any songs eather

x2 on Senuti
Used a couple of times in the past and experienced no problems.

Ipod Access is what I just used on leo with its 5 song per click demo. Senuti on tiger.

I use PodWorks. The nice thing is you can run it right on the hard drive of the iPod itself. No need for any program on the receiving computer. Everything you need is on the iPod itself.

See ya
