Have you ever been unfortunate enough to experience a dreaded hard drive crash and lose all of your cherished songs, videos and pictures from your computer? Well I have, and believe me it wasn’t a pleasant experience at first; I simply panicked and didn’t know what to do. That is until I realized I had stored most of my music and videos on my iPod so finally I began to feel some relief in the fact that I didn’t permanently lose the majority of my media collection. Now when I got a new hard drive I thought I could simply run iTunes click a few buttons and transfer music from iPod to computer, however as it turns out “iPod to computer transfer” is no easy task and it cannot be carried out by simply using the iTunes software.

Apple has made it very difficult to transfer songs, videos or pictures from your iPod back to the computer and the main reason for this is because Apple doesn’t want to authorize the sharing of protected content. That is what they claim, however I think they just want you to buy the music or videos you already downloaded from their iTunes store again, so they can make extra money. Therefore if my hard drive crashes or my computer stuffs up, you’re telling me I have to re-buy the music I already own just so I can get it back on my hard drive. Well it’s not happening buddy, and this is when I sought a solution to my problem of figuring out “how to transfer songs from iPod to computer” by looking for a decent program like iTunes. Over time I have become so accustomed to iTunes that it has become a huge part of my daily computer lifestyle and I can’t imagine myself using a computer without it. So essentially I wanted to find a program that is easy to use and can integrate easily with iTunes.
