Hey all, My mom just got an IPOD SHUFFLE, I have an Ipod but she got the SHUFFLE. Anyways, she took the shuffle to my sisters house in college, she doesn't know crap about this stuff so she asked my sister to put songs on it that she likes. NOW.... my mom is back home and wants to add some songs to it from a old CD. I uninstalled all my ITUNES and reinstalled it with the disk that came with the SHUFFLE. I then plugged the shuffle into the computer and excited as I was itunes opened up and it says
" the shuffle has been used on another itunes, do you want to erase all songs and load songs from the exsisting library?"

Well no, I don't because my mom likes the 60 songs that my sister at college gave her but she wants to add more, at HOME. So how do I add more songs for her using the house computer. We live a long ways away from my sister in College and she can't go back there anytime soon????? WTF is apple so scared of sharing songs that they only allow you to use the IPOD at one location. Please help, I am supose to be the expert at the house and felt dumb with not being able to figure out this lilttle/big problem. Thanks

Mac or Windows?

For Mac: iPodRip

For Windows: Do a google search.

It's completely doable. You just need to take the time to search for it.

"getting songs off ipod" worked for me. This seemed informative.

If you had clicked the link in my previous post, you would have found the above article 4th on the result list.

thanks for the hlep i got it. Apple so tricky, making the files invisible......wow

talk to your local RIAA representative about that one. Apple has to make it at least somewhat hard to get the songs off to the RIAA approval to sell songs via iTunes Music Store.

I *know*. Sheesh. Imagine that they wouldn't want you to be easily able to use the iPod to move music from computer to computer. And it was SO SO hard to find an answer on google. I practically had to get a cipher out to think of that search string.





Come on, you've got to understand the sentiment here: if you could just plug your iPod into any computer and move music to and from it without any problems, it would be very bad for Apple's rep as a legitimate source of music.

On the other hand, you can take app's that cost tons of money from computer to computer and install them (yes, i know it's illegal). Maybe we shouldn't give adobe or macromedia any ideas though.

If you've got the CD, it's no different. Is it easy when you've installed the program on the computer to transfer it? Nor should it be.

I agree. Stealing is stealing. And it shouldn't be made 'easy' to do.
Music is a lot different than software though, so that was a bad example. I'm not even gonna touch on the whole, "well, with tapes, everyone could copy everyone elses music!" As it is now, if you are going to exchange music with folks, just drop 25 cents and put it on a cd and give it to them.
