It has been a little more than ten years since the first iPod appeared on the horizon, and since then Apple has made it extremely easy to fill up our iPod’s with music on the fly. However, the going’s not so easy when it comes to exporting music out of your iPod.
What if you want to backup your entire music collection from your iPod onto your desktop? Apple gives us no option to do that via iTunes. What do we do then?
Sharepod is the answer. This free program lets you get songs out of your iPod and into your PC. Additionally, Sharepod also helps you manage your iPod without using iTunes at all. Even things like editing song info and album art.
As far as backing up music is concerned, you can click on the “Backup iPod” button to copy everything back to your computer. That’s not all, Sharepod gives you the option to backup individual songs or playlists as well. Just select the song/playlist and click on the “copy to PC” to button.
Once you click either of the buttons, Sharepod gives you the option to select the Location where you want it all to be copied.
It’s as simple as that. Now no need to fret and worry that you might lose your iPod music accidentally. Back it up all and sleep easy.

Love Sharepod- been using it over a year. Just wish I could get my movies out of the ipod to share with friends. If you know how , please fill me in – also love Tech Tips.
Just a question for somebody, this exports from iTouch to desktop computer but does not put into iTunes? Reason I am asking is because my hard drive quit and thought this might work to put songs back into iTunes. My personal answer would be that you would say no but just in case. What a program though. Thank you.
Ok, I figured it out and it was so easy to get it into iTunes. I thank you very much for this great program. I will share with my friends and family.
Plug your ipod into your computer and when Itunes starts up, close it out. Now go to the directory list on C: and you will see your ipod listed. You should be able to open your ipod up to see the folders. For me, I had 49 folders to copy. Just click and drag them to your computer.
does this work for iphones? If not, how do I get the equivalent to Sharepod for my iphone?
