how to copy the song files from Apple's iPod to the computer hard disk is a headache for many iPod owners. ITunes is designed to upload songs to the iPod but not back to the computer. The method of exporting songs from Apple iPod to computer hard disk, introduced in an English blog, does not use third-party software, but uses iTunes. 1. Use iTunes to set the iPod to a mode that can be used as a hard disk. So you can see the iPod in the file manager. 2. In the file manager menu "Tools"->; Open the option to show hidden files in Options. Song files are saved as hidden files on the iPod. Just turn on this option and you can see them in the file manager. 3. On the hard disk of iPod, you can now see a folder of iPod_Control, which contains some directories named F, F1, F2, etc. Each directory contains some songs, and the song file names are some random strings. Right-click the folder to open the properties dialog box, unhide the properties and apply them to all files and subdirectories. 4. Open iTunes, make sure that all the songs in iTunes have been backed up, and then empty the music library. You don't need to delete the original files, just move them to another directory. The most important step is to make sure that your iTunes is set to manually update the iPod, otherwise the iPod will be emptied. Then, in the advanced options, set iTunes to copy files when importing. If you haven't changed this option before, you can ignore this step. Now, select Add Folder to Music Library in the menu, select the iPod_Control directory on the iPod hard disk, and confirm with OK. Finally, select "Unified Music Library" in the "Advanced" menu, and iTunes will save all the songs on the iPod to the "My Music" /iTunes/iTunes Music directory.
