Thanks for your help! Worked great, trial version works with under 1000 songs for a 30 day trial period. Still it's a great software

Thank you for the helpful tips. My friend recommended 4Media iPod to Mac Transfer to me when my computer crashed, and luckily it helped me get all files from my iPod to my mac perfectly. I like its easy and safe transfer. You can free download it from http://ipod-tool.com/mac-tools/ipod-to-mac.html In brief, it can help transfer all music, photos, videos, podcast, and TV shows on your iPod back to Mac safely. Also, you can use it to transfer files from iPod to iTunes or from Mac to iPod in a direct way. The great thing is that it won't cause any deletion of any files while transferring, because: when this Transfer program is launched, it will modify the automatic synchronization of music/video to manual synchronization between iPod and iTunes. It even has step-by-step guide. Hope it helps.

I used windows, so I use Tansee iPod Transfer With just a few simple clicks, it will help you transfer all videos/songs from iPod back to computer, and then you can easily add those songs back to iTunes. Many of my friends used it, and they recommended it to me. Free download from http://www.gutensoft.com/Utilities/Tansee-iPod-Transfer.htm
