Free ipod backup applications?

[Waffle]

My ipod is broken now, soon i'll replace it. But how to backup iPod on PC? Is there any FREE ipod backup programs? I searched the google but couldn't found any sufficient one.

No problem. Here's how to copy music off your iPod and back onto your computer.

Requirements:

• Any iPod or iPhone
• A computer with iTunes installed and enough hard drive space to store all the media from your iPod

You plug it in, you mount it to the OS, and then you realize that iTunes only allows the downloading of music from iTunes to iPod, not iPod to iTunes.

Can't you just plug your ipod into your PC ? , connect it it will appear as removable hard drive media.

Go to the controls folder then music. Copy that folder to desktop, drag the tracks into itunes. ITunes copies them to your music folder on your PC with real filenames .
