Ipod Help

[Wondergull]

Sorry if this has been talked about previously but i need some Ipod help

I got a video Ipod for Xmas and still have hardly any tunes on it let alone videos. This was mainly because my PC at home was bust so my girlfriend used her I-Tunes on her laptop to put some songs on for me. I now have a brand spanking new PC and want to transfer all my CDs etc on to my Ipod. However, if i do this using my I-Tunes i will lose everything that is already on the Ipod.

I guess what im reallly asking, is there anyway to share music between Ipods? Winamp was mentioned on a previous thread. I looked at this but dont really understand how it all works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same problem....I put something on my IPOD at work and when I updated my itues library at home with teh IPOD it wiped them off.

Its something to do with synchronisation settings. try the Apple/IPOD website

You can get a program called ehpPod which you can transfer songs back on to your pc

Just make sure you are updating your ipod manually and not automatically. Cant remember how to do that though, somewhere in prefrences.

Also a program called iDump available from www.download.com works.

This is very important.

Once you've set it to manual synchronisation you can chop and change tracks at your convenience without iTunes deciding you can have all or nothing.

Just go into preferences and switch from auto-sync to manual
