Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
When I got my new computer and hooked up the ipod, it knew there were songs on the ipod not on teh computer and offered to move them. But I don't think it'll do that for purchased music.
I don't have any purchased music on there, I think. It's all either downloaded from other sources or uploaded from discs.
Also, can I do it with more than one iPod. i have the iPod and the iPhone, both with libraries. The iPhone stuff is all eaisly replaced, though.

Actually, IME it'll do that only for purchased music.
okay, so what I think I'll do is hook up the iPhone as a test. We'll see if that transfers the music. If so, we'll hook up the original iPod. If it wipes out the stuff already on there, no biggie, I can redo that easily. Let's see what happens!
It's like science!
Yeah, at the time I had the vast majority of my music on the new computer (transferred from the old), so it was a surprise to me that it offered, but I wasn't worried if it wiped the iPod.

It was for me. The file names and directory structures are greek, but iTunes doesn't care. It does its own parsing.
Can I do it with more than one library?
