最初的iPod 是在 2001 年发布的^{(original iPod was released in 2001)}，差不多是二十年前的事了。从那时起，已售出数亿部 iPod。

尽管在 iPod 出现之前，许多MP3播放器已经发布，但它在市场上的首次亮相使MP3播放器成为必备设备。

如果您是自Apple^(Apple)推出iPod 以来拥有 iPod 的众多特权人士中的一员，那么无论您是否仍在使用它，您可能仍将一些您最喜爱的音乐收藏保存在那里。

您的旧音乐可能无法以任何其他形式轻松获得，但您可以将音乐从 iPod 传输到计算机。我们将向您展示不同的方法。

您可以将歌曲从 iPod 传输到 Windows PC 或Mac，方法是将其连接到您的计算机并按照我们将在下面看到的几个步骤进行操作，或者使用 iPod 传输软件。

如何将音乐从 iPod 传输到 Windows PC^{(How to Transfer Music From iPod To Windows PC)}

第一步是防止 iTunes 自动与您的 iPod 同步，这样它就不会用 iTunes 库集合覆盖设备上的音乐。

• 为此，请断开任何 iOS 设备与 PC 的连接并启动 iTunes。转到Edit > Preferences。

• 单击设备^{(Devices )}选项卡，然后单击防止 iPod、iPhone 和 iPad 自动同步^{(Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically)}框以将其选中。 
• 单击确定^(OK)并退出 iTunes。

• 接下来，将 iPod 连接到 PC。它将在文件资源管理^{(File Explorer)}器中显示为驱动器。打开其驱动器并转到iPod_Control > Music文件夹。

• 如果驱动器为空，您可以显示计算机上的隐藏文件夹和文件。
• 尽管如此，在iPod_Control > Music文件夹中，选择其中的所有文件夹，然后将它们复制并粘贴到您的硬盘上。这样，音乐将从您的 iPod 移动到您的计算机。

注意：^{(Note: )}您 iPod 中的音乐文件有四个字母的名称，您可以在文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中查看它们的每个标签。将音乐导入^{(import the music to a media player)}您选择的媒体播放器后，它将恢复歌曲标题应出现的样子。

• 将文件复制到计算机的硬盘驱动器后，转到文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}并右键单击 iPod 驱动器。 
• 选择弹出^{(Eject )}以移除您的 iPod 并将其与计算机断开连接。
• 您可以通过转到Windows 版 iTunes 中的“File > Add Folder to Library”来将歌曲添加到 PC 上的 iTunes 库。
• 如果您希望将音乐直接复制到 iTunes 媒体文件夹，您可以通过打开 iTunes 并单击Edit>Preferences来启用此设置。 
• 在“高级^(Advanced)”选项卡下，找到并选中“添加到库时将文件复制到 iTunes Media 文件夹^{(Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library )}”框。

这使您可以将原始文件移动到其他任何地方，而不必担心丢失它们。您在启用复选框之前添加到库中的任何文件仍将链接到原始文件。

如何将音乐从 iPod 传输到 Mac^{(How to Transfer Music From iPod To Mac)}

在将音乐从 iPod 传输到Mac之前，您需要禁用同步，以便媒体播放器不会尝试与您的 iPod 同步并覆盖其中的所有数据。发生这种情况是因为您的Mac^(Mac)计算机上的音乐库可能没有 iPod 包含的部分或全部歌曲和其他文件，并且您最终将拥有一个 iPod，其中缺少相同的音乐或文件。

要禁用同步，请确保没有 iOS 设备连接到您的Mac ，然后从“^(Mac)应用程序 ^{(Applications )}”菜单打开 iTunes 。

• 在 iTunes 中，选择首选项^{(Preferences)}>设备^(Devices)，然后选中阻止 iPod 和 iPhone 自动同步^{(Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically)}框，然后单击确定。

• 退出 iTunes，然后按住Option + Command 键。将 iPod 插入Mac并在 iTunes 启动时释放按键，并显示一个对话框，通知您它处于安全模式。

• 关闭它以退出 iTunes。您的 iPod 现在已安装在您的Mac桌面上，而无需与 iTunes 同步。
• 接下来，卸载 iPod 以使文件可见。如果您尝试按原样打开桌面上的 iPod 图标，您将看不到音乐文件。相反，您会看到Calendars、Contacts和 Notes 文件夹。
• 包含 iPod 音乐文件的文件夹是隐藏的，但您可以使用OS X 终端^{(OS X Terminal)}命令行界面使它们可见。
• 为此，请转到Applications/Utilities并打开Terminal。

• 输入下面的命令，输入每一行后按回车键：

默认写入 com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE^{(defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE)}

killall 查找器^{(killall Finder)}

第一行是显示所有文件的命令，而第二行刷新Finder以使更改生效。在执行这两个命令的过程中，您的桌面可能会消失并重新出现，所以当这种情况发生时不要担心；这是正常的。

通过输入这两行，Mac上的Finder将显示计算机上的所有隐藏文件。

您现在可以通过Finder^(Finder)通过单击 iPod 的名称或双击安装在桌面上的 iPod 图标从 iPod 中找到您的音乐文件。

• 打开iPod Control 文件夹^{( the iPod Control folder)}，然后打开 iPod 上包含您的音乐和其他媒体文件的音乐文件夹。像Windows一样，文件的名称可能无法识别，但它们的内部ID3标签是完整的，因此任何可以读取此类标签的程序（包括 iTunes）都可以为您恢复歌曲标题。

• 使用Finder将音乐复制到您的Mac，然后将它们拖放到您的首选位置或桌面上的新文件夹中。
• 接下来，从桌面卸载 iPod，然后将音乐文件添加到 iTunes 资料库。为此，请单击 iTunes 窗口一次，然后单击iTunes 对话框中的取消。^(Cancel)
• 单击iTunes 边栏中 iPod 名称旁边的“弹出”按钮以卸载 iPod。^(Eject)断开 iPod 与Mac的连接。
• 要将音乐传输到Mac计算机上的 iTunes 资料库，请从 iTunes 菜单中选择首选项^{(Preferences )}，然后单击高级^{(Advanced )}选项卡。

• 选中复选框保持 iTunes 音乐文件夹井井有条^{(Keep iTunes Music folder organized)}并在添加到库时将文件复制到 iTunes 音乐文件夹，^{(Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library)}然后单击确定^(OK)。

• 在iTunes 文件菜单^{(iTunes File menu)}中，单击添加到资料库^{(Add to Library)}，然后转到包含您从设备复制的 iPod 音乐文件的文件夹。
• 单击打开^(Open)。这些文件现在将被复制到 iTunes 资料库，并读取ID3标签，以恢复歌曲标题和专辑、艺术家、流派等其他详细信息。
• 完成后，使用下面的终端^(Terminal)命令使所有隐藏的文件和文件夹不可见，并在输入每一行后按回车键

默认写入 com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE^{(defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE)}

killall 查找器^{(killall Finder)}

注意：^(Note:) Apple 的 FairPlay DRM 系统^{(Apple’s FairPlay DRM system)}仍然完好无损，因此请在播放之前对您从 iTunes 商店购买的任何音乐进行授权。

使用iPod传输软件^{(Transfer Software)}将 iPod音乐^(Music)传输到您的计算机^{(Computer Using)}

您可以使用多种软件程序将 iPod 音乐传输到计算机，但确定使用哪个软件程序可能是一项艰巨的任务。您需要找到一个以合理的价格结合了您需要的功能和良好的传输速度的产品。

您可以为此尝试的一些最佳 iPod 传输软件程序包括CopyTrans、iRip 或TouchCopy。将 iPod 上的歌曲和其他内容传输到计算机时， CopyTrans^{( CopyTrans)( CopyTrans)}提供全方位的体验。移动文件时速度相对较快，并且会复制元数据。 

• iRip还可以帮助您将音乐文件从 iPod 移动到计算机。此外，您还可以移动 iBooks 文件、视频、播客等。它也很快并且可以处理元数据。
• TouchCopy功能丰富，可以帮助您传输音乐和其他媒体文件和数据，尽管它的传输速度不是那么好。

How to Transfer Music From an Old iPod to a Computer

The original iPod was released in 2001, which is almost two decades ago. Since then, hundreds of millions of iPods have been sold.

Many MP3 players had been released way before the iPod showed up though, but its debut on the market made the MP3 player a must-have device.

If you’re one of the many privileged people to have owned an iPod since Apple unveiled it, you probably still have some of your favorite music collections stored there, whether or not you still use it.

Your old music may not be readily available in any other form, but you can transfer the music from your iPod to your computer. We’re going to show you different ways of doing it.

You can transfer songs from your iPod to a Windows PC or Mac by connecting it to your computer and following a few steps as we’ll see below, or by using iPod transfer software.

How to Transfer Music From iPod To Windows PC

The first step is to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing with your iPod so that it doesn’t overwrite the music on the device with the iTunes library collection.

• To do this, disconnect any iOS device from your PC and launch iTunes. Go to Edit > Preferences.

• Click the Devices tab and click the Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically box to select it. 
• Click OK and exit from iTunes.

• Next, connect your iPod to your PC. It’ll appear as a drive in File Explorer. Open its drive and go to iPod_Control > Music folder.

• If the drive comes up empty, you can reveal the hidden folders and files on your computer.
• Still, on the iPod_Control > Music folder, select all the folders in it, and then copy and paste them to your hard drive. This way, the music will be moved from your iPod to your computer.

Note: The music files from your iPod have four-letter names, and you can see each of their tags in File Explorer. Once you import the music to a media player of your choice, it’ll reinstate the song titles as they should appear.

• Once the files have been copied to your computer’s hard drive, go to File Explorer and right-click on the iPod drive. 
• Select Eject to remove your iPod and disconnect it from the computer.
• You can add songs to your iTunes library on your PC by going to File > Add Folder to Library in iTunes for Windows.
• If you want your music to be copied directly to the iTunes media folder, you can enable this setting by opening iTunes and then clicking Edit>Preferences. 
• Under the Advanced tab, find and check the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library box.

This allows you to move the original files anywhere else without worrying about losing them. Any files you added to the library before enabling the checkbox will still link to the original files.

How to Transfer Music From iPod To Mac

Before you transfer music from your iPod to a Mac, you need to disable syncing so that the media player won’t try to sync with your iPod and overwrite all the data on it. This happens because your music library on the Mac computer may not have some or all the songs and other files that the iPod contains, and you’ll eventually have an iPod with the same missing music or files.

To disable syncing, make sure there’s no iOS device connected to your Mac and open iTunes from the Applications menu.

• In iTunes, select Preferences > Devices and then check the Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically box and then click OK.

• Exit iTunes and then hold down the Option + Command keys. Plug your iPod into the Mac and release the keys when your iTunes launches with a dialog box informing you it’s in safe mode.

• Close it to quit iTunes. Your iPod is now mounted on your Mac desktop without syncing it with iTunes.
• Next, unmount your iPod to make the files visible. If you try to open the iPod icon on the desktop as-is, you won’t see the music files. Instead, you’ll see Calendars, Contacts, and Notes folders.
• The folders with your iPod music files are hidden, but you can make them visible using the OS X Terminal command-line interface.
• To do this, go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal.

• Type the command below and press the return key after entering each line.:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

killall Finder

The first line is a command to display all the files, while the second one refreshes Finder for the changes to be effected. Your desktop may disappear and reappear during the execution of these two commands, so don’t worry when that happens; it’s normal.

By entering these two lines, the Finder on your Mac will display all the hidden files on the computer.

You can now locate your music files from your iPod through Finder by clicking the iPod’s name or by double-clicking the iPod icon mounted on your desktop.

• Open the iPod Control folder and then open the music folder that contains your music and other media files on the iPod. Like Windows, the names of the files may not be recognizable, but their internal ID3 tags are intact, so any program including iTunes that can read such tags can reinstate the song titles for you.

• Copy the music to your Mac using Finder, and drag and drop them to your preferred location or a new folder on the desktop.
• Next, unmount your iPod from the desktop and then add the music files to your iTunes library. To do this, click on the iTunes window once, and click Cancel on the iTunes dialog box.
• Click the Eject button in the iTunes sidebar next to your iPod’s name to unmount your iPod. Disconnect the iPod from your Mac.
• To transfer your music to the iTunes library on your Mac computer, select Preferences from the iTunes menu and then click the Advanced tab.

• Check the boxes Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library and click OK.

• In the iTunes File menu, click Add to Library, and go to the folder with the iPod music files you copied from the device.
• Click Open. The files will now be copied to the iTunes library, plus read the ID3 tags that will reinstate the song titles and other details like the album, artist, genre, and more.
• Once you’re done, make all the hidden files and folders invisible by using the Terminal command below and pressing the return key after entering each line

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

killall Finder

Note: Apple’s FairPlay DRM system is still intact so authorize any music you bought from the iTunes store before playing it.

Transfer iPod Music to Your Computer Using iPod Transfer Software

There are several software programs you can use to transfer your iPod music to a computer, but figuring out which one to use can be a daunting task. You need to find one that combines the features you need, and good transfer speed at a reasonable price.

Some of the best iPod transfer software programs you can try for this purpose include CopyTrans, iRip, or TouchCopy. CopyTrans offers an all-around experience when transferring your songs and other content on your iPod to your computer. It’s relatively fast when moving files, and it copies metadata. 

• iRip can also help you move your music files from the iPod to a computer. Plus, you can move iBooks files, videos, podcasts, and more. It’s also fast and can handle metadata.
• TouchCopy is a feature-packed that can help you transfer your music and other media files and data, although its transfer speeds aren’t that good.
