Making PC-to-iPod Connection a Two-Way Street

The most direct way to transfer songs off your iPod to a PC is to simply plug the gadget into the PC and view its contents in Windows Explorer. All your music will appear and can be imported to iTunes, but here's the catch: The names of all your songs will be gibberish. That's where a program like CopyPod comes in. Once songs are on the iPod, Apple wants to keep them there so you can't copy them to a friends computer. The most recent iPod software stores the song separately from the song titles. Renaming hundreds or even thousands of songs just isn't practical. This approach satisfies the music industry, which says it has the right to control what consumers do wit copyrighted music, even if they have paid for it. CopyPod is a program that will automatically copy your iPod songs, along with the original titles, back into the iTunes software on any PC. You paid for it, now be able to back them up on your computer, or lose the tunes when your iPod inevitably crashes.
