fuck! i was a day away from backing up my music and there goes the computer! fucking shutdown and wouldnt start back up properly. we had to wipe the hard drive completely and itunes along with it. when i first realized i didnt have any of my music i was really pissed off. i wanted to go break things, but decided against it. :mad: fuck! im still pissed about it.

feel free to move this mods, cus i have now have a tech question.

is it possible to move ipod music onto itunes library directly? i have an ipod mini and older version of itunes cus i cant upgrade it cus i dont have the correct windows xp service pack installed.

itunes

phail.

i stopped reading right there.

I fucking dropped iTunes a couple years ago once I discovered all the DRM shit. Need a fucking iTunes store account to transfer music from computer to computer? Can't use multiple mp3 players? Can't transfer from mp3 to computer? Take a fucking hike apple.

WMP ftw. i can move music to an infinite amount of mp3 players, to an infinite amount of computers, an infinite amount of times.

Dump that fucking iTunes bullshit. You are just submitting the control of your library to the record labels (who basically control Apple, because if Apple doesn't do what they want, they pull their music from Apple's itunes store).

Actually, you can use multiple iPods with one computer/library.

Not only that, the DRM shit only applies to music you buy from the iTunes store. Of course, the fact that you're stupid enough to actually pay for enough music to be concerned with this explains why you think iTunes is so bad.

To the OP: google is your friend. I'm pretty sure there are ways to do this.

If not, you can still avoid losing the music on your iPod by connecting it and disabling auto-sync. You don't want to sync it again, you'll want to just copy stuff from your iTunes library and paste it on to the iPod (using iTunes). This will keep it from syncing, the music stays on your iPod, you can still add/remove things from the iPod, and you can still play your iPod's music on your computer if it's connected to the comp.

i have no issues with my ipod music. i already have it so i manually sync my ipod. and as for music sake, its called torrents. i have no problem with the acquiring of music. its just that i dont want to download all my music that i lost. im wondering if i can transfer music on the ipod onto itunes library directly (hopefully) but anyway possible quicker than redownloading everything would be much appreciated.

Nah, I have friends who cant move music that they ripped from a cd. It's just one big cluster fuck. Shit sucks.
