How to Transfer an iPod Playlist to iTunes
- 1). Download software that can transfer your iPod files to your computer. Programs such as "iPod to iTunes Transfer", "iPod to PC Transfer" and "iPod.iTunes" all provide the necessary steps for playlist transfer. Install the software onto your computer.
- 2). Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB cable that came with your iPod. When plugged in properly, the iTunes software will start up. Minimize iTunes for now.
- 3). Open the transfer software that you downloaded and installed. If it doesn't automatically connect to your iPod, navigate to the device using the menu system. Under the list of files on your iPod, click on the playlist you want to transfer.
- 4). Choose where you want the file to go on your computer. Consider creating a new folder on your desktop specifically for this purpose as it will make the file easier to find. Click "Transfer" inside the software program to send the playlist from your iPod to your computer.
- 5). Open Apple iTunes. Click "File" at the top menu and choose "Add File to Library." Navigate to where you transferred the iPod playlist onto your computer and click the name of the file. Click "Open" to add the playlist to your iTunes library. You can now use the playlist through iTunes or on other iPod devices.
