i am not sure, persoanlly i hate the ipod and anythign else apple, but i can give it a wip. if your muisic in your itunes library is stored in folder, which it should be, than you can make that your share folder. the folder that your downloaded music is stored in, change tha folder to the folder that you itunes music is stored in. let me explain.\n\nfolder 1 = i tunes\nfolder 2 = downloads\nmake folder 2 folder 1 so everyhting that used to go to 2 now goes to 1.

do you have a mac? and if no or yes do you have an mp3 player or external hard drive? if you have a pc connect your Ipod or whatever you have , make sure all the song from your library are on there, then take it and connect it to the other computer. then go to search and search your hard drive for all music, you might have to check in iTunes & switch it to be used as hard disk, then also go into my computer and check if the files are invisible as well. then just pull them out of the search box and let them download.

Follow these steps:\n1. Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com and install it on your computer.\n2. Run iTunes on your computer.\n3. Make sure iTunes know about where your music is. When you install it you can have it search for you music or:\n3a. If your music is already on your computer, click on the library icon on the left of iTunes and open a file window and drag the music files into the large window on the right. If the music is not in mp3 format you must select one or more songs, right click your mouse, and select "Convert Selection to MP3".\n3b. If your music is on CD, insert the CD into the CD player in your computer (you must have one for this to work) and iTunes will read it. Once the songs are displayed, highlight all of them (press Ctrl A after clicking once on one song), right click on the hightlighted files, then select "Convert Selection to MP3". Do this for every CD you want to load into your iPod.\n4. Connect the cable that came with your iPod with the thin wide cable with the icon facing in the same direction as the face of the iPod. Don't force it and make sure the icon of the plug is facing the same direction as the face of the iPod.\n5. Connect the thick narrow cable to your computer to the USB port, it will be the only hole in the computer that it will fit into. Agian, don't force it. If it doesn't go in easily, turn it around and try again.\n6. Wait a few second and iTunes will recognize your iPod automatically.\n7. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod it will ask you if you want to asociate this iPod with this iTunes, just answer yes.\n8. Any music you add to iTunes from this point forward will autmatically be downloaded onto your iPod anytime you connect it to your computer.\n9. Do not disconnect your iPod until iTunes tells you that your iPod has been updated. You can also leave it connected to charge up the iPod battery.\n10. If you add songs after your iPod is connected, the iPod will not be updated. When you add music after connecting your iPod to the computer. Go to the File menu and select Update "xxxx" near the bottom. In this case "xxxx" is the name you assigned to your iPod followed by the word iPod.

Actually if you have different profiles set up on your machine then you'll be ok.  My wife and I have an iPod each and since we have different profiles on the machine we are able to sync our own without crossing over each others music.  That's the easiest way I know.

You could just email the song files to your Yahoo email address, then open them at home and add them to your home iTunes library. \n\nOr save the songs to some kind of disk and transfer them to your home computer that way.

Check this out ... Extract from\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=159372&start=0&tstart=0\nOption 1:\nAssuming you're moving files legally between your own computers, check out iPodAgent at http://www.ipodsoft.com/\n________________________________\nOption 2:\nThe manual way around this problem is to use the iPod in its alter ego - that of portable computer disk drive. Successfully tested under iTunes for Windows 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7; Windows XP Home.\n\n- Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET\n- open iTunes\n- open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running\n- connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing\n- open 'My Computer'\n- Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'\n- open iPod icon in My Computer\n- open iPod_Control folder\n- you should see a folder named Music\n- drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive\n- after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'\n- clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'\n- Close that explorer window\n- eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.\n- disconnect the iPod from the computer\n\n- go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window\n- File menu &#92; Add folder to Library &#92; find that Music folder copied over from the iPod\n\nYour iTunes library should be back in action! But wait - there's more!!\n\nLong time forum regular Otto42 has a java script/program that can also retrieve the playlists themselves from the iPod as well. Here are his instructions and a link to the most recent thread discussing this tricky process:\n\n] This is really useful when you're pulling all the songs off of an iPod to put them back into iTunes, because you lost your library or anything along those lines. Come up with your own reason for using it.\n\n] Download this program:\nhttp://otto.homedns.org:8888/iTunes/iPodGetXML.zip \n(If you can't download it, try again later. The connection goes up and down a lot.)\n\n] Now, put the iPod into Disk Mode or otherwise access the iPod as a drive. Make sure you can see hidden files, then go to the drive and the iPod_Control folder and find the iTunesDB file. Copy it to your PC.\n\n] Put the copied iTunesDB file in the same directory as this program, then run the program. It'll read the iTunesDB, get all the playlists, and create an XML file for each one. Now just import those XML files into iTunes to recreate the playlists.\n\n] Notes:\n- The songs in playlist must already be in the iTunes library. If any one of them isn't there, iTunes throws up an error when you try to import the XML file.\n- The song names, artist names, and album names in the library all must be identical as to what the iPod has. If you just copied all the music off the iPod and into iTunes, this will be the case, so it's generally not a big deal. but you'll get an error if it can't find the song in the iTunes library, so it's something to keep in mind.\n- It probably won't be able to cope with unusual characters in song names. Sorry, not worth my time to fix. Dealing with unicode is way annoying.\n- Smart Playlists get changed into regular playlists. It's *possible* for me to add the smart playlist stuff in there, but it'll take a while to work it all out.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOriginal thread for Otto42's playlist recovery: http:

we have a mac\n\nlimewire has a preference you can check that it will automatically add the downloads to your iTunes library\n\nto get all the music you've alreasy downloaded, from the iTunes file menu, choose "add to Library" then select the file that holds your downloaded limewire songs.\n\nyou can even drag and drop one song at a time into your iTunes library.\n\nFor more specific help, try the Apple Discussions\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149\nThey have specific Windows or Mac lists - ad you could even run a search for limewire and see if your question has already been answered.

Next time you dock your ipod, after itunes comes up, double click the icon for your ipod and drag the selected songs into your library.  That is if it's not already doing it automatically which it will under default installation settings.\n\nEdit: What Bacon is refering to are the copy protections, their meant to keep friends from giving away music that they've only purchased a personal liscense for.  If it's your ipod and your copy of itunes it shouldn't be an issue.  If it's not you can still go to windows properties and select "show hidden files" whereupon you can search through your ipod and copy the hidden sound files (individual songs are split into multiple files to make this a pain in the ass but it can be done.).\n\nHope that helps,\n\nArmus
