Help with 5th Generation Ipod
I have 2 Ipods: 5th Generation Ipod and ITouch. I need help transferring songs from my 5th Generation to my ITouch. As I understand, using Songbird, I have to save all of my songs to my computer and then I can sync the songs onto my ITouch. How do I do that?

Inappropriate?I hate to break it to you, but Songbird doesn't support the iPod touch, or the iPhone. (It's Apple's fault, really)
I’m mad at Apple

Inappropriate?Hi kryingame,
I'm still going to tell you how to get your music off your ipod and onto your computer. But as Dustin said, Songbird will not be able to sync to your Touch. Your going to have to use iTunes for that :( Sorry.
(Im assuming you have a Windows PC, if not, let me know)
Old School Way:
1. Plug your iPod into your computer.
2. Open iTunes and select ‘Enable Disk Use’ in the iPod Settings/options page.
3. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer, the iPod should be automatically detected as a portable hard drive.
4. Click on the iPod icon or the iPod portable hard drive letter to open the contents of the drive.
5. There's gonna be some hidden files and folders here so to fix that, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View, (if you have Vista, just search for "Folder options" in the start menu) and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.” You should see a folder called "iPod Control"
6. Open the “iPod Control” folder, and then the Music folder.
7. The Music folder contains the iPod’s music and videos, divided into folders. Copy the library/folders to your local computer hard drive (where ever you would like)
8. The files copied have unintelligible four-letter file names. Dont worry they still have all the metadata info in them.. Then you can import them into Songbird...
Or you can get a program like iDump: http://www.download.com/iDump/3000-21... to do it for you without changing settings or such...
If your on a Mac ... Senuti: http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ or something similar would work (just google something) :)
I’m soo many people want to get music off their ipods.... always have backups! ;)
