Re: iPod migration, new computer
I tried Senuti (which didn't move playlists and ratings and such), and Ollies iPod Extractor (which was slow but got all of the playlists, ratings, and play counts). Check on Versiontracker for more choices. Migration assistant is still the easiest way, though. Bob Steve, My son has used iLinkPod to move and back up music files. It seems to be better for a complete restore then Senuti.

Re: iPod migration, new computer
On 1/6/09 8:45 AM, Bob Whiton of m...@rswhiton.com sent Expecting the new iMac soon, I've searched the kb and not found the answer. Should I be expecting to have to reset/erase the iPod to the new iTunes or does migration assistant allow the iPod to be used on the new computer without reset/erase? No need to erase your iPod. I'm on my fourth Mac with my 2G iPod, with no resets. Migration Assistant should move your iTunes library with no problem, or you can copy from your iPod. Bob (quote) or you can copy from your iPod. (end quote) Really? How, without using the iPod as a straight external HD? Very interested.

Ever since the first iPod, you've been able to set aside a certain amount of the disk space on it as external storage.

Hi Bruce, Agreed, much cheaper. I have known about this feature since my first purchase; the original responder made it sound (or perhaps it's the way I read it) like one could do this from within iTunes, which would be a nifty alternative to the all or nothing approach to iTunes' syncing method.

Thank you, Dana The Apple method uses the iPod as an external HD http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329, but there are third party utilities that bypass this procedure.
