Using CopyTrans, an iPod Copy Tool

After CopyTrans has copied the iPod library, it will import it into iTunes automatically. In some cases, CopyTrans may have you eject the iPod. Just follow the onscreen prompts.

This takes another 45-50 minutes.

In my experience, all my music, video, etc. was copied over fine, including pay counts, last played date, and all that good extra info. Some album art was copied, some wasn't. Luckily, iTunes grabs album art using a built-in feature.

Once this is complete, you're done! You've made an iPod copy or iPod backup and moved your iTunes library to a new computer pretty painlessly and in not too much time!
