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.

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!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was for me. The file names and directory structures are greek, but iTunes doesn't care. It does its own parsing.
