How to copy songs from your Ipod to your PC

Cách 1 :
A reader points out a straightforward way for Windows users 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. On my 2nd gen 'pod, the full path is Portable Media Devices\GINA'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.")
If you give this a go, lemme know how it goes. I'll ammend the instructions with any additional info for other versions of Windows and iPods. Thanks, Shelby!

To protect the copyrights of the songs, musics and videos stored on iPod and reduce piracy, Apple has make it difficult to copy or transfer the songs, musics, audio, videos and files that stored on iPod to personal computer (PC) or laptop notebook computer, by scrambling the file names of the songs on the iPod and telling the operating system that the files should be invisible to normal users, without any encryption involved in this iPod anti-copying mechanism.iTunes allows only one-way synchronization of musics from computer to iPod, so if for whatever reasons such as need to reload your library on local hard disk due to desktop hard disk failure or buying new computer, you can easily copy back the video, music and song library from iPod on a Windows PC by following steps:
1/ Insert your iPod to a Windows PC USB or FireWire port. (PC should runs Windows XP or other Windows operating system).
2/ If your Windows PC still doesn’t have iTunes installed, skip this step. If iTunes is already installed and prompt a message on whether if you’d like to associate this iPod with this computer and deleting its content, click No. Or else you will lose your only copy of library on iTunes. Beside, ensure that ‘Enable Disk Use’ is selected.
3/ Open My Computer or Windows Explorer, the iPod should be automatically detected as a portable hard drive.
4/ Click on the iPod icon or the iPod portable hard drive letter to open the contents of the drive.
5/ If you don’t see a folder called “iPod Control”, it’s hidden and invisible. To unhidden it so that it’s visible, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”
6/ Open the “iPod Control” folder, and then the Music folder.
7/ The Music folder contains the iPod’s music and videos, divided into folders. Copy the library to local computer hard drive’s My Music folder.
8/ The files copied have unintelligible four-letter file names. To reveal the names of the songs and other data tags, add the files to the Windows Media Player or iTunes libraries or switch to “Tiles” view in Windows Explorer.
9/ Rename the file if necessary.
