It should go through and bring them all through that way. (Be aware that if you have a lot of songs it can take a while and look like it's "frozen". Re the iPod, you can't unfortunately take the songs off the iPod (Due to "copyright" restrictions,...but we won't go there.) You can use a program called iPodRip, which "opens" the iPod for you. <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20083> (Don't steal music, only use what's yours, yadda yadda yadda) :o) With this little utility you can bring it back into iTunes if the first way doesn't work. Hope that helps! Enjoy! Kind Regards Daniel (Still working from the day before,..no sleep and going well!
