How to keep your iTunes music

[Tahrann]

Many of you already know how to do this. But for the people who don't this is a helpful way of getting em back.

Now, if you drive gets erased and you lose all your music on your CPU, dont fear, because this will help you get them back.

1st. Hook up your iPod but DO NOT sync it (this will erase all your music)

2. Now, check the "Use as external drive" selection and press apply. Now your iPod is an external drive.

3. Go into "My Computer" in the startup menu, and you should see you ipod as a selection.

4. Click into it, and it will show you 3 things (none of these will be your music files), so then you click "tools" and  click onto "folder options", then click on the "view" tab and enable the viewing of hidden files and folders.

5. Now you should see your music. What you do now is copy all of your ipod music files and paste them onto your desktop.

6. Then open iTunes again, go to your music library and drag all of your music files from desktop into iTunes and it will all transfer there. (DO NOT erase the files)

7. Sync your ipod and your music should be there.

Better ideas: Stop buying DRM'd pieces of poop, and/or get a player that actually allows you to control your files.
