my hd crashed, reinstalled windows, voila, no music!
but my ipod has around 15 gigs of music in it. and i know there are some softwares that can transfer from ipod to computer. but does anyone have any experience with this and can give any suggestions as to which program to get?

thanks

You don't need software to do this.

This is how its done with XP (I havent figured it out on Vista yet)

1. reinstall itunes
2. Open the "computer window (where it shows the hard drive, cd drive, removable drives, etc.)
3. Click on the ipod
4. Somewhere in the toolbar you'll be able to select "view hidden folders"
5. Drag those hidden folders (they'll be a bunch of random numbers and letters) into iTunes.

It might take an hour or so with 15gigs but that should do it.

In the 12 minutes since I last posted I figured out how to do this on Vista as well.

These are the same steps as with XP but finding it is a little tougher as they redesigned everything.

Basically to make things easier find the Folder Options click the view tab. Under advanced settings click the show hidden files and folders button and then click ok. I found it on vista by clicking windows help and support button.
