haxor Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 My old ipod nano 3rd generation broke and i got a new nano chromatic for christmas. I backed up the files of my old ipod but don't know exactly where to put them on my new ipod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 This goes into Help & Newbies. iPods store the music in some hiddeneded directory, so you have to use iTunes to get them on there. If it's just random files you've had there, using the ipod as a usb memory, just get them on the drive (you may have to go to itunes and there to the ipod settings, to get the computer to mount the ipod as a drive). Note that this is what should work on a mac, dunno if windows and the win version of itunes handles the ipod differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haxor Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Oops!! I was just checking back on my message and noticed that. I found that directory and was able to access the mp3s. I am just worried that it might screw it up if put them in the wrong spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeCrusher Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Download sharepod. You can transfer from your old to your pc, then from the pc to the new one without worrying about itunes syncing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Or just use Winamp's media library. It works pretty much like iTunes, except you don't have to install anything extra (assuming you use Winamp already, anyway) or deal with all the crap Apple is packaging with iTunes nowadays.

EdgeCrusher Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Winamp is about as much of a system resource hog as itunes though. In fact I took winamp off due to that and having a message every week saying "UPDATE NOW AVAILABLE!!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
