These days, more and more companies are cracking down on file sharing, especially when it comes to media files like music and movies. Once your iPod, for example, is synched up with the iTunes program on one computer, you can’t synch it to another computer without losing all your music, so you can’t get music from a friend’s computer to your own. However, there is now a way to share your music and other files with your friends using your iPod and some other new software.
This iPod transfer software helps you override the typical limits of iTunes to share music with your friends. Basically, with this software you can take music from your iPod and transfer it to an iTunes program. Now, in order to transfer the music to a computer, the computer will also have to have this special software. However, one copy of the software can legally be shared between three computers, so you could always split the cost with friends who have similar musical tastes to yours.
Once the music, movies, or other downloads are pulled from your iPod, iPod touch, or iPhone onto the other computer, your friend can easily transfer the music to iTunes, where it can then be transferred back onto his or her iPod. Also, you can move music around and create playlists through the software alone, so you can share and play music even if you don’t actually have iTunes installed on your computer.
Once you have this software installed, you can use your iPod with any computers you want. Instead of sharing music with your friends, you could synch your iPod with your work computer and your home computer, or you could do this and also share the software with friends so that you can easily download and share music with one another.
