When i downloaded my songs onto my Ipod it was my aunts computer and she lives in Ecuador. I want to keep all my songs that i have currently on the Ipod but add new ones on there as well. Is there any way i can do this?

    For the PC, there is a full-featured (and free) application called ephPod. ephPod can export files from your ipod to the PC. The PC does not need to be the authorized machine for your iPod.

    1.Download and install ephPod from

    2.Open the application, Start > Programs > ephPod.

    3.Make sure your iPod is plugged in and select the drive in the pull down list that your iPod appears as.

    4.Once the application has seen your iPod, double click “songs”—this will bring up a list of all the songs on your iPod.

    5.When you see the song(s) you wish to copy off your iPod, select and “right click” and choose “Copy Songs to Directory” on the song or press Ctril+Alt+C. For our example we’re taking our Engadget Podcast off of our iPod and putting it on another computer.

    6.ephPod will ask where to save the file, we choose our desktop.

    7.ephPod will then create a new folder along with the file you selected.

    8.Click OK and that’s it!

    Here’s another way to transfer music from an iPod to your hard drive, without extra software:

    1.Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.

    2.In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.

    3.In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check “Show hidden files and folders.”

    4.Navigate to the Music folder. For e.g. on the 2nd gen ipod, the full path could be
    Portable Media Devices\__’S IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music

    5.Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes. And you’re done!

    The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check “Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.”)
