The Great Decay 07-06-2008 02:24 PM

I haven't posted here in a long *** while, but I was hoping one of you could hook me up.. I need a program to transfer all of my music from my ipod to my new laptop. I've already searched google, but I can only ever seem to come up with a program that will allow me to transfer one song at a time, or a very limited number of songs. A link to the download of a recommended program would be greatly appreciated.

You can transfer your songs with Winamp, I think.

The Great Decay 07-06-2008 03:18 PM

I've also heard because I have the ipod classic that it can be treated as an external hard drive, but when I was attempting to access the required folder, it was hidden and I don't know how to expose hidden folders on vista. Irregardless, a program that did it for me would be much less work and I'll look into the winamp situation.

perriwinkle 07-06-2008 03:19 PM

well you can go through and manipulate / copypaste all the individual mp3's but theyre encoded and randomly named/organized so its really not worth it. google is pretty amazing



also i said this in the good bands thread but i listened to the new del and im really [right]disappointed[/right]

The Great Decay 07-06-2008 03:29 PM

Winamp doesn't seem like a very sound choice.

niobium 07-06-2008 03:59 PM

i use winamp to transfer songs onto my zen8gb

although i think the program plugins are kind of sketchy. it gets glitchy about trying to delete too much at once and you have to know how to plug it in and whether or not the device is turned on or not.

I've found the majority of the more popular programs to use, but they all cost cash and the trial versions suck balls. Someone has to of had this problem in the past, hook a brother up.

Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show hidden files and folders.

I transferred the files from my iPod to my PC without a program and it wasn't too difficult. iTunes recognizes all the songs when you import them.

The Great Decay 07-06-2008 07:34 PM

I'm in My Computer currently and looking at the folder in iPod_Control entitled "Music" which according to an article I found on google is supposed to have all my music, so I went to add that folder to my library after switching my iTunes preferences to "copy files to itunes music folder when added to library" and nothing happened. Also, if I hover the mouse over the folder it says the folder is empty, but if click on the folder there are a shitload of subfolders that have the music in them.

I used Winamp to transfer songs from my iPod nano onto my computer.

Apparently winamp is known for unexplainably deleting ipod libraries, that is why I don't want to use it.

dei 07-06-2008 07:46 PM

I see.

When I install Windows again on my desktop I'm going straight back to foobar 2000.

masada 07-06-2008 08:16 PM

foobar rules

niobium 07-06-2008 11:04 PM

foobar pains me to learn

i had sex in pouring rain tonight, in my backyard. that was amazing.

YDload 07-06-2008 11:05 PM

i guess pneumonia can be an STD after all

niobium 07-06-2008 11:29 PM

maybe if it was winter
maybe if it was winter...

otherwise i smiled

Apocalyptic Raids 07-06-2008 11:46 PM

can't be bothered to set up foobar

negrodamus 07-07-2008 12:30 PM

i tried foobar, but then i was like **** that winamp all the way. now i just use itunes so whateva.

masada 07-07-2008 12:35 PM

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;16461999]can't be bothered to set up foobar[/QUOTE]

ya it takes a lot of effort

niobium 07-07-2008 01:40 PM

i assume they just have premade skins somewhere

jeff fwqhgads made a nice one that he lent to me once. i should ask for it again

it's too bad that every winamp skin ever made looks gaudy because it's a nice program

negrodamus 07-07-2008 01:58 PM

[QUOTE=niobium;16463260]it's too bad that every winamp skin ever made looks gaudy because it's a nice program[/QUOTE]

pretty much.

YDload 07-07-2008 06:46 PM

"The music of CocoRosie (the band’s name is an amalgam of their mother’s nicknames for the girls) is most often categorized by critics as “freak folk,” placing the two sisters in a new wave of 20-something singer-songwriters like Devendra Banhart or the harpist Joanna Newsom, who have revived the ’70s culture of homemade authenticity with at once more wholesomeness and more joyous perversity than their elders."

sounds more like The Shaggs to me

perriwinkle 07-07-2008 07:21 PM

i downloaded an album by the Shaggs but didnt really enjoy listening to it

vocals were pretty annoying, production was bad, and the music wasnt that interesting to me

on another note i partied in a teepee last night (that my friends and i built)

pix soon

YDload 07-07-2008 07:32 PM

read up on the history of The Shaggs. i dont think theyre supposed to be good

perriwinkle 07-07-2008 07:59 PM

haha i read a little, thats sorta funny. yea i deleted that album a while ago

anyways heres our teepee [url]http://members.cox.net/nickingv/0701081714.jpg[/url]

you can see my boom box and our bong in there ... what a great ****in day

YDload 07-07-2008 08:10 PM

a bong is NOT an acceptable substitute for a peace pipe

Glitterati 07-07-2008 08:15 PM

they're basically the same except people who smoke bongs usually don't live on reserves and aren't addicted to meth

masada 07-07-2008 09:52 PM

banned on rym again

Apocalyptic Raids 07-07-2008 10:10 PM
