Recover songs and playlists from iPod

Hi there,
If somebody can PLEASE help me with this situation I would greatly appreciate it.
I have an iPod touch (yeah I know, OLD SKOOL).
Just recently, the headphone jack has f**** up, besides the point, all I wanna do is save the music and all the playlists just as they are and transfer it to my new iPod...
any easy/good suggestions on how I can go about in doing that would be great???
Hass

Dear IIIaass,
Thank u very much for ur swift reply...
though the link u sent me was awfully confusing... not because it was convoluted or me lacking intelligence, its more being on the safe side...
Truth be told this is not My iPod, its my sister\s, so I dont want anything to go wrong such as:
Her songs/playlists overwrite my songs in iTunes
her songs and/or my songs being wiped out all together
etc
Can u give me the Kindergarten version for this process

How do transfer my songs AND playlists from iPOD classic to a NEW laptop

How do you transfer both songs AND playlists from an iPOD to a new laptop? I have read a few posts about this, but none seem to talk about transfering the PLAYLISTS. I understand there is a manual method since the iPOD is essentially viewed as a hard drive by a windows based machine/PC and there are third party applications to provide a more automated process.
So can playlists be transferred? If so how? Or will i need to recreate all my playlists? It is not the end of world, rather just tedious. Are there any "gotchas"?
Thanx

I also have a similar problem. Lap top crashed - new lap top have VISTA (I know...).
Using my ipod as a external hard drive - I have loaded all the tunes onto a new folder on the desk top. I then loaded all the files into the itunes library and have upload them on the new itunes on the new lap top - all good. They are now on the new itunes library and my ipod
However NONE of my purchased items have been transfered. Issue is that the files on the Desktop folder will not show which are purchesed and which are imported from CD - how do I find and then transfer my purchased songs...
Thanks

How do I retrieve my purchased songs and playlists from my iTunes account? I have just had to replace my hard drive and have lost pretty much everything!

You can redownload your iTunes store purchases, but you'll need a backup to recover the playlists.

A function to play offline / downloaded songs and playlists from Spotify on Sonos is missing!

A function to play offline / downloaded songs and playlists from Spotify on Sonos is missing!
Since my internet connection is a bit shaky at home I need to use my downloaded content and playlists with Spotify!
However this functionallity is not available together with Sonos which is a really big problem.
I hope you plan to work together with Sonos to introduce this functionallity really soon.
Also this is already available with Google Play Music together with Sonos and it would really be a shame to leave Spotify just to solve this problem.

Would be great to have some way of getting offline play lists on Sonos for when my internet connection dies, and also to reduce the amount of data i download repetatitivly... i must have streamed the same songs hundreds and hundreds of times over the last few years playing spotify over sonos, massive waste of bandwidth and download capacity. Maybe we could point spotify to a network drive for spotify on sonos to use for storage of offline playlists.

How to manually add songs and playlists to ipod with new version of itunes?

So I didn't have any problem adding songs to my ipod nano manually until I updated itunes a few minutes ago, and found the settings completely different than previously. I can no longer just drag songs and playlists to my ipod. I have "manually manage music" and "enable disk use" selected. I do not want to sync my whole library to it. I have more songs in my library than can fit on my ipod. And I already have my playlists set up how I want them. Can someone help?

go to iphone, then on the page below click the Add To... icon on the top right.
then its easiest to view them by songs. and then you can drag and drop from them and click Done when finished

How do I get my songs and playlists from an external hard drive into iTunes?

I have got all of my songs and playlists on an external drive from my PC. I just bought a mac and can't understand the directions to get my songs and playlists up and running in iTunes...Can anyone help?

If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

Computer crashed- all new now. How to bring library and playlists from Ipod

My PC crashed and was pronounced DOA. All library and playlists were and still are on Ipod Classic (20GB). Obviously wasn't able to follow directions for normal transfer of lib. and p.lists as event not planned. Built completely new PC and loaded up Itunes. I had all my music library backed up on an external and can load, but is there any way I can save my 50 meticulously created playlists back into Itunes? Please say "Yes"!

Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
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.

Getting tracks and playlists from iPod to Mac

Simple question here, I think: I need to send my iPod in for a new battery, but first want to transfer all files to my Mac ... including playlists. How does one do this?

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection. My personal choice is Senuti which is very easy to use and supports dragging and dropping individual tracks or whole playlists.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only ex eption is itunes purchases: File>Deviecs>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup cop of your old computer.

Import Songs and Playlists Into iTunes 10.5 From Existing iTunes Library

Hi Everybody.
I am sure this is easy but it hasn't worked for me.
I had to install a new hard drive and installed iTunes 10.5 onto it.
I now want to import my songs and playlists from my external drive into iTunes.
I tried to consolidate library but only 1800 of 7000 songs came over.
None of the playlists come over when I import playlists except 90s music, classical music, music videos,etc. ie none of my playlists.
Am I missing the obvious here.
Please help becuase I have tried around 40 times!

does your computer got Quicktime? if not then that might be the cause of it as i've got my issue solved by installing it.
hopes this help.

How do I add certain songs and playlists to my iPhone but not others?

Hi all,
I recently installed iTunes 11.0 onto my MacBook Pro, and I yearn for the days of far simpler content management. All I want to do is add certain songs and playlists from my computer onto my iPhone without re-syncing the entire thing (every time I do, sound files that I created for work find their way onto my phone, and I have to re-delete them every time). But I can't figure out how to simply add ONE song or ONE playlist to what is already there. In the previous version, it was so simple--just point, click, and drag. Now I can't figure it out and I feel like an idiot. Can anyone show me how to do such an absurdly simple thing?
Thanks,
Neil

When you sync your phone with your laptop (or other device that has the songs you want), go into your music preferences and choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres." This should allow you to select the three songs you want from your library. Make sure to click or tap on "apply" or else the changes will not be saved. Let the phone completely sync and those three songs should be in your phone's music library.
Hope this helps!
