(But you lot are so useful!) iPod to pc free software?
Spamlet wrote:
Bought an iPod for SWMBO - after wasting much time with a pretend version - and have only just discovered the way it munges up mp3 file names and then scrambles the folders for good measure, so once loaded on it is a pain in the b* to get them back. There seems to be a lot of software out there purporting to be able to retrieve one's files and their names from iPods. Do users here have any tips as to what might be the favourite freeware for managing this? If you still have the receipt, take the damned thing back and get a player that doesn't deliberately obstruct free usage. I find the Sansa Fuze to be very good value - 8gb is only about £50, and there's a microSD slot to add more capacity if you need it. Set to MSC (mass storage) mode and you can simply drag & drop media folders on and off like a USB stick. |

Yes, that's what I would have bought had I not come across a good deal on the iPod, and had I not already splashed out on a speaker station that was designed to take the iPod plug hole. Problem was SWMBO liked the look of the nano, but I knew she would soon lose or break it so tried a look alike first. The look alike of course, being totally useless... Thanks for the tip: if I run out of space on the BB I'll get one for me. S |
