This guide is written for EphPod version 2.75, free download here.
After installing the software and connecting your iPod (you may need to turn on “hard disk mode“, start the software and select the drive that your iPod shows up as.
- Create a folder on your hard drive to download your music to, we will us C:\Music\iPod\
- First select “Playlists”, then select the playlists you wish to keep (don’t worry about the individual songs you want to keep yet). You don’t want to select “Top 25 Most Played” “Recently Played” or “My Top Rated” or anything that starts with a “+” sign. To select more than one click the first one and hold Ctrl while clicking on any other playlists.
- Right click over any of the selected playlists and select “Copy Playlist(s) to Directory”
- Select the directory you created earlier (ie: C:\Music\iPod\) and click “Ok”
- After it finishes, you will now have your playlists and the songs that are used in them.
- Then select “Songs”
- In the bottom half, where the songs are listed, select the songs you want (you can right-click and select all). Don’t worry about if you have selected something that was in a playlist, it won’t be duplicated if you follow these steps in order.
- After you’ve got all the songs you want to keep selected, right click any selected song and select “Copy Songs to Directory”
- Select the directory created earlier (ie: C:\Music\iPod) and click “Ok”
- When this finishes you will have all of your music and playlists on your hard drive, to add to a new iTunes selection, or continue to use ephPod as your music manager.
Note: I did not write any of this software and can not support it, all trademarks and such reserved… Do this at your own risk blah blah blah. It worked for me, I hope it works for you too.
