• Answer:

  You can NOT transfer music directly from iPod-to-iPod. You CAN transfer music from iPod-to-computer-to-iPod. Transferring Music: >>> MAKE SURE that your iTunes is set to [MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC] <<< Method #1: [Note: I have no personal experience with this method] If ALL of your music was purchased from the iTunes Music Store then Apple has a step by step solution: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173 Method #2: Download iDump or any other similar software from download.com (for free). Method #3: [This method does not require third party software or an internet connection. This method will transfer ALL songs, photos and videos from iPod to computer; use Method #2 to transfer specific songs. Playlists will not transfer.] > Connect iPod to computer. > [Start] > [My Computer] > Double click [iPod drive] > [Tools] > [Folder Options] > [View] > Select [Show Hidden Files & Folders] and click [OK] > Right click [iPod Control] folder. > Select [Properties] > Un-select [Hidden] and click [OK] > Select [Apply Changes To This Folder, Subfolder And Files] and click [OK] > Open [iPod Control] folder. > Open [Music] folder. > You will notice folders labeled F00, F01, F02, F03, etc. > Place iTunes side by side w/ this window. Make sure that [Music Library] is displayed. > In iTunes select [Edit> Preferences> Advanced] and put a check next to: - [Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized] & - [Copy Files To iTunes Music Folder When Adding To Library] > Click [OK] > Drag and drop all of the [F] folders into the iTunes [Music Library] > Done.
