Copy iPod to iTunes the Easy Way or the Hard Way: It is Your Choice

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

When you get ready to copy your iPod files over to iTunes on your computer, you have two choices. Imagine the voice of some hardened cop near retirement questioning a possible criminal with this next sentence:We can do this the easy way or the hard way. It is your choice.

Without the drama, this phrase is still the truth. You do have two options when you want to copy iPod to iTunes. You will see quickly which is best once you consider each of the two.

1. There is a standard method for making the file transfers. Just do a quick Internet search and you will be able to find instructions on how to do this. These instructions are usually pretty thorough, but you will quickly notice that they are also quite long, and quite confusing.

With this method, you will need your iPod and the iTunes on your computer, but you will be limited to just the one computer. Then, you will have to follow the step-by-step process. You will have to be careful to not click the wrong button so that you do not accidentally erase files.

2. With the second method, you choose the right iPod software. Once this software is installed, you will be able to copy the files with just one button instead of a long set of instructions.

With the software, you will also be able to copy your iPod files over to iTunes on any computer, including your laptop, your work computer, and a friend’s computer.

Now that you see your two choices, you will also see that one is much easier than the other is. The straightforward, quick process of option number two by far outweighs the confusion and multiple steps of option number one. It is your choice how you make the copies.
