Move playlist from one iPod to another?

Is it possible to transfer a playlist from one iPod to another? I have an iPod on which I've developed some playlists for classes (I teach music) and I just got a new iPod, and I would like to transfer that playlist on the old iPod to the new iPod.
Let me be clear: I own all of the music on the playlist, and it is all still in my iTunes library; I just want to move the playlist I've developed over the last few years on my old iPod to my new one as a whole, rather than piece by piece and one file at a time.
Is this possible?

No, unfortunately -- it's only on my old iPod. I just created playlists on the iPod and added things to that. There's about 80-100 things in each playlist.

    How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    It needs to go through iTunes.  But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud.  You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes.  All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection. 

  • Can ypou move songs from one ipod to another?

    Is there a way to move songs from one way to another, if so can you tell me.

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Copy playlist from one ipod to another?

    how do i copy a playlist from my ipod 80gb to my new shuffle?

    You do have the playlist in iTunes right? Do you manage music manually? If yes then you have to drag and drop (in iTunes) the playlist on to the shuffle when connected.
    If you are syncing automatically, then all the playlists you selected for sync will transfer to the device.

  • Swap Playlists from one iPod to another

    I had an iPod and just got a new one. I need to swap my playlists from my old iPod to my new one. Every time I try to click and drag or right click and copy, it won't allow me to drop the playlists into the new iPod.
    I'm going from a 3G 30GB iPod to a new Color/Photo 60GB iPod.
    Any helpful suggestions? I'd H8 to have to rebuild these playlists, they have thousands of songs in them!

    did you manage to swap the playlists between each ipod in the end? if so, how?
    ive just brought a colour ipod and i would like to transfer my playlist from my old black and white one to it.

  • How do i move information from one Ipod to another?

    I am planning to get a new Ipod touch, and I was wondering how to bring my memory from my old Ipod touch to my new one, such as purchased apps, songs, movies, and so forth.

    All yur items should be on the computer yu use to sync with the old iPod.  When yu get the new iPod, first do one final sunc of you old iPod.  The first part of the sync is a backup.  The dissconnect the first iPod and connect the new iPod.  If this is the first time the iPod has been connected to a computer for activation. iTune shold say it found a backup and would your like to restire the new iPod fronm that backup or as a new device.  Select restore from backup.  Your iPod should then be like the old one.

    Restore the new ipod from the backup of the old ipod.

    Or just sync everything to the new ipod the same way you did with the old ipod.

  • From one iPod to another

    I have an iPod 3G and an iPod 4G. 3G has music on it, 4G doesnt. i dont have a sync playlist setup for my iPod, i manually moved it on there, all from the SAME library (so its not a mix). I want to know if theres anyway i can just have iTunes put the SAME music on the 4G as the 3G, like maybe make a playlist on the 3G and move to PC, then to the 4G.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
    Edit: im not trying to move music from one iPod to another, just tell it what to copy from the iTunes library

    No.
    You would have to select the same music and sync it top the new ipod.
    This i the problem with manually managing music.
    Had you set up a playlist instead, you could simply sync the same playlist to the new ipod.

  • HT1329 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another ipod

    How do I move music from one ipod to another ipod?

    The music that is on the one iPod must be stored in an iTunes library first before it can be synced/added to the other one.  You cannot transfer content directly from one iDevice to another.

  • How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

    I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
    My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
    Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

    *Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
    You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

    Looking for a way to add music from one iPod to another iPod without losing music on the first iPod ... Please help

    iPods are not backups or data transfer tools.

    Then sync the music to the iPod.
