There is. Let me ask my buddy what it was.

if you go to www.download.com, there is a program called igadget, it allows you to take the songs off an ipod and transfer them into itunes or into a backup folder, i think it should work for what you are talking about, the download is a 7 day free trial and then you have to pay for a code to unlock it for further use

its very user friendly and works great, i used it first when i bought my first ipod used off ebay and wated to keep some of the songs that came on it from the previous owner, but when i plugged it into itunes, the program wanted to delete everything and replace it with my current library, this way i was able to keep what i wanted and then add all the rest of my music

haha no problem, yeah it will take awhile, but it gets the job done, anytime im looking for a program to do an odd job like that, download.com usually has something thatll work, most of them come with free trials, and you can always find registration codes if you know where to look, but i dont endorse that or anything

If you look in your My Music folder there should be a folder for iTunes, and then a folder for iTunes music. That's the folder where iTunes stores everything. If all you want to do is back up your songs, all you need to do is copy that folder onto an external.

It sure is bouncing around while it downloads. Went from all my Primus to Slipknot. I figured it would of started with A and through Z..

Few years ago my HD dedicated to music crashed and lost all my MP3's. Fortunately I had a back-up which was my ipod.....but how to get the music off w/o itunes.

Answer sharepod
http://www.getsharepod.com/download/

It's just an external application that is stored on your ipod. When I go to work I can open it up the program w/o installing anything (so i'm not violating anything ) From there a player interface opens with my entire music library. The program allows me to ADD as well as REMOVE mp3's without the need for itunes.

if i remember right, the default for the program sorts the music by song title, but good choices with primus and slipknot

So I finshed transfering everything to my external hard drive. Most everything went perfect. All the songs went perfect, but 75% of the band titles didn't I have a jumbled mess of songs now on my external hard drive. What do I do? How do I correct this? I'm willing to try something else.

How did you get the songs on your iPod in the first place if they're not on your computer now?
