747617 2009-02-13 20:01:00 Recently I was asked how to transfer music from an old iPod to a newer iPod.

I know next to nothing about iPod, but it seems I need to learn (for the sake of SWMBO kids and family who all use iPod)

Is there a way/app that helps you do this easily?

You can also use Winamp or Mediamonkey. Or one of the other free programs that sync Ipods

747621 2009-02-14 00:12:00 So what's in the library?

Delete whatever is there add whatever, put them in the right place (If its a video Ipod), then connect the new one, click on sync

Only thing is whatever is on the Ipod now, Itunes may tell you it needs to format / wipe it or something, then it'll resync whatever

Only thing is whatever is on the Ipod now, Itunes may tell you it needs to format / wipe it or something, then it'll resync whateverExactly, and when its on a third party computer, you end up losing all the files off the old iPod which we were trying to avoid

I was looking for something to transfer existing files from one iPod to another. The library wouldn't sync to the old iPod, so we couldn't do it that way.

Any other ideas please
