Getting Music Off An Ipod
If you have ever had your hard drive crash or purchased a new computer, you realize that your new installation of iTunes will want to erase your iPod. This is because it is already associated with another iTunes installation on another computer (or old hard drive, etc). Apple needs to try their best to prevent piracy of music so I can understand why it works like that. Everyone would be pulling music off each other's iPods and sharing music all over the place.
This didn't work for me the other day though. My hard drive crashed and I needed to recover all of my music. Otherwise I would have been an unhappy camper.
I found a useful tool that does the trick nicely called EphPod. It is a handy little utility that can do a number of things, but more importantly, it will take the music off your iPod and save them as mp3 files.
For a full tutorial on how to use it to get music off your iPod, check out the tutorial on Engadget. It provides screenshots and a step by step guide on saving your music.
