MP3 Music Synch to iPod ???

I downloaded music in format MP3 from another source. I had them stored where my iTunes music is stored on my PC. At one point, I could actually see the MP3 music listed in a SHARED foler in my iTunes folder list. I can't see them anymore so I'm not sure what happened, so that's the first question.
The second question is, can you somehow sync MP3 music to you iPod. I've found recently that iTunes music is in something called M4A format and maybe the iPod only accepts that proprietary format. Can anyone help? Thanks

iTunes doesn't support folder watching. As the previous poster has pointed out you have open iTunes and use the Add file to Library or Add folder to Library option to put songs into the library. If you are simply putting them in a folder on your computer and expecting them to show in iTunes that's not going to happen: Adding Content to iTunes

I have transferd music from my ipod to my new computer and some of the files are not coming over, i have noticed the m4a files come across but the mp3 do not, any ideas how i can resolve this? thanks

I have just bought a new computer and i am transfering my music from my ipod onto my new computer, I have put the files from the music option from my ipod onto my computer. alot of the songs have come across, however there is alot of songs that havent. I have noticed that the m4a files come across but the mp3 does not. the new computer has windows 8 on it, which is very new to me. when i try and play the mp3 files, it will open them up in a different programme and will not open in itunes. does anyone know what i can do?!?!!?!?!
THANKS

carlitos3373,
You need to use iTunes to transfer music to your iPod. You can download the latest version here:

Hope this helps,

I downloaded music to my ipod (4th gen) from my computer but it was mp3 format. It shows that the music is in there but I can not play it. It seems to be in there as a file but not as music.

I downloaded music from my computer to my ipod (4th gen) but I can not listen to it. It shows that it is on there as files but not music is this because the music was format for a mp3. How do I convert it to play on the ipod or move it to the music file?

The iPod can play MP3 files, so that's not the problem.
It sounds like you're accessing the iPod as a disk drive, and copying files in Windows Explorer.
This is not the way to put music on your iPod. You have to install iTunes on your computer, and put your music in iTunes. Then you can use iTunes to select the music you want on your iPod.

Is there any way to transfer my music from my iPod to my iTunes without the original MP3's as my Laptop was stolen.

Hi Guys,
I have recently had my laptop stolen, therefore lost all my music etc.
I have a third generation 40GB iPod with most of the music on it (ripped from CD's etc.)
Is there anyway I can transfer the mp3's from this iPod to my new computer? Just so I can transfer it to my new iPod touch.
It's going to be a pain having to buy all the mp3's.

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Not using itunes.
You can use the music on other music players that support the format that itunes uses.
Consult the manual for instructions on how to put music on the player.

How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

How do I move mp3 files from my iPod to my computer?

Short version:
I need to move music from my iPod to my computer so I can fix ID3 (or AAC) tags on the mp3 files, then move the same, corrected mp3 files back to the iPod.
Long version:
I used to have a Pioneer car stereo with iPod control. It displayed all of the song information correctly. I got a new car about a year ago that didn't have iPod control. Today, I finally got a new stereo that supports full iPod control. I plugged in my iPod for the first time in over a year (I only use it in my car). The files may have become corrupt or something while my iPod has been collecting dust, but now the song title, artist, and album are all displayed as the song title.
Instead of:
Gimme Shelter
Rolling Stones
Greatest Hits
It displays:
Gimme Shelter
Gimme Shelter
Gimme Shelter
The real head scratcher for me is that it only does this on some songs. Maybe 10% of the songs still have the ID3 tag intact (although the album art doesn't display so I want to fix that anyway).
I don't use the iTunes store. All of the music that is on my iPod was legally purchased as CDs and ripped to my old computer years ago. I don't have that computer any more, and I no longer have the mp3 library that was on it. I don't want to go through the hassle of ripping all of my music from my CD library back to my computer, import it to iTunes, then copy it over to my iPod. It seems like I should be able to transfer my ripped mp3 library from my iPod into my new computer, fix the ID3 tags, then copy them back to my iPod.
I'm using an old 30GB iPod Video. I have no use for upgrading it to something new.
I found this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
But it explicitly states that it won't work with music that wasn't purchased from the iTunes store (which mine wasn't). I really wish that Apple didn't think it knew what was best for me and would let me use the hardware that I purchased the way that I want to use it. Is there any third party software or anything that will help me do what I need to do?

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

There are a few things you can do to copy your songs from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

How can I export playlists (music) from my iPod Touch to a sd card

When i bought my car (AUDI A6) 2 years ago I forgot to order an iPod connection. My question is how to transfer the music from my iPod to a sd card and at the same time convert it into a format which enables me to use the sd card in my car audio system? Would guess I need conversion into mp3 or mpeg.
Wait for help!
Regards
Thomas

If you go to the File tab in itunes, under Library there is an option to export your library and also one for backing it up. There are many programs that will convert non-DRM music to different formats.

Transfering music from your ipod shuffle to your computer

I AM STUCK!!
My grandpa is so eager to make me get this done, so i would like a response sometime today.
How do you transfer music from your ipod to your computer?
I gave my grandpa an ipod shuffle for his birthday and we got all the songs that are now on his ipod are from my itunes account.
WE BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT MUSIC!!
all i am trying to do is change the format of my music to mp3 so he will be able to play his music in his car.
i have went into prefrences, import settings, blaa blaa. Then when i right clicked on my music thats in "on this ipod" it only had 3 options.
is there either an easy way to change the format without syncing music onto my computer or how do you sync the music from your ipod to your computer?

When you purchase music, you do not purchase the right to distribute that music to others.
This is illegal.

How do i get the music off my ipod to my new mac?

How do i get the 3.1 gb of music off the ipod with out paying (i am a kid) If i dont get this i will have to synk and loose all my music (original pc in landfill) Thanks ahead of time

http://www.i-funbox.com/
Download it and find the sub-folder Music.
Right click that and export it. Then import those files into iTunes. Do note that the file names are going to be pretty wierd (Like for example LPITE.mp3 - for the song Linkin Park In the End) but it should be fine if the names are in the files. You will know when you import it into iTunes.

Random music disappears when ipod is unmounted. help.

i have music on my ipod that is only accesable when it is attached to my computer. when i unmount the ipod the music doesn't appear in any of the menus. plug it back in to the computer and its there and can be played through i-tunes. i've installed the current update and tried a reset. it seems like a bug involving the table of contents or something.
have you heard of this or do you know what i can try to get my ipod to list and make availabe all the music currently stored on it?

i always eject my ipod and any other drive before i disconnect it.
i also shut down my computer before i do something like remove the battery.
i'm an audio engineer and i know how to use a mac and the drives i have connected to it.
the problem with my i pod seems to be with the software on it. it has the mp3's stored on it. i can locater them through various apps on my computer. they just don't appear in any menu (artist, album, genre, etc.) when the ipod is not connected to the computer. when it is connected they are available to be played from the itunes interface. i click on my ipods music menu and they are there and i can play them. this alone indicates that the files are not corrupted, have an identifiable script for their name, are organized properly by artsit, album, and so on. but after i eject the ipod they can't be accessed through the menus. like the menus on the ipod need to be updated so that they contain a path to the music on the ipod. and to be clear this is only random files. most of my music appears in the menus.
as a side note, my wife has an identical ipod and all the music on mine was also put onto hers on the same day. these files can be accessed on hers when it is not connected to the computer, once again indicating that the files are fine and that the problem is with my ipod alone.

Uploading mp3 music files

HP Envy TouchSmart laptop. How do I upload my iPod Classic mp3 Music into my laptop?

Hi Brian,
If I were you I would try downloading and installing iTunes for PC.
I do not know about the "classic"; many (Apple) devices can sync with iTunes as well as provide a means to import music.
I use iTunes to sync and back up my old Apple iPad One.
Do go to the Apple support site to download and install the software -- no telling what kind of "stuff" you might find embedded in the installation if you use a Brand X download site.
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur
