iPod Hacks

OK, so here's the situation. All my tunes are stored on my home PC. I also have a work laptop, but it's way too small to fit all my tunes on, and besides, who wants the hassle of maintaining 2 libraries?

Fine if all you want to do is listen - you can just plug you iPod in, de-select automatcially sync, and you can play from iTunes on your PC. Everyone knows that, right?

What annoyed me was that I wanted to share my music on the work network - so everyone could see how cool my musical taste was!! But iTunes won't let you do that. After trawling through Google without success, I found a way of doing it.

1) Plug your iPod in as usual. You get a blank library (having nothing on your laptop), but you can see all your songs on the iPod.
2) Open windows explorer, and change the folder options so that hidden files and folders are displayed.
3) Go to the removable drive that has appeared, and browse to the hidden folder iPod_Control. This is where all your mp3s are. Now do a search for all mp3 files, making sure you are searching subfolders, and that you are searching hidden files.
4) Drag the search results into your iTunes library. I reccomend doing it in batches of 2 - 300, as it will take a while.
5) That's it - your iTunes library is now looking directly at your iPod, and you can share it.

This will work as long as windows explorer always assigns the same drive letter to your iPod.

You'll need to repeat if you add new tunes, but you should be able to filter the search results by date.

Enjoy!

Havn't tried it out cuz I don't have an ipod yet. It's worth a try!
