How to upload from iPod to computer ?

So my laptop died, got another laptop.

Need to get songs FROM iPod TO laptop.

Googled, and found a lot of shareware that claim that they can do this.

Hesitant to download something without knowing that someone else first used it successfully, and without computer issues, spam, corruption, etc....

I've used ipod rip. Works ok--it doesn't mess anything up, but you do have to copy/paste the folder it copies into from your desktop to your itunes folder. Then, in itunes, go to file/add to library.

Same thing happened to me but I did it through the iPod website without having to download anything. I am probably the least tech savy person but the directions were real easy.

music rescue works really well.
I recall it being pretty self explanatory- and your songs are converted in their original names/tags etc. (I guess based on how ipods code files internally, some programs will retrieve them this way- so your guilty pleasures of say Spice Up Your Life.mp3 and Theme From the Little Mermaid.mp3 suddenly look like AXCJCJKSO.mp3 or something) (I think).

try doug's applescripts - the site has a ton of itunes-related scripts and you can rip individual tracks or playlists.

You don't need any applications to do this. If you plug your iPod into your computer (make sure you've change the iTunes settings to manually update your iPod- not automatic).

I have used this method before with success on several occasions.

the guy at the genius bar recommended (off the record) that I use Senuti when I had this problem. it worked fine.

get eph pod software. it's free just google it
