Using an ipod as backup??

[mr noble]

Hi,


I currently use a big 60GB ipod as backup for all my music and photos. In all about 20gb of music and 25gb of photos.


I've just synced it all again (do it every 6 months or so) and wonder if it is actually possible to download all the music and pics back to another PC in the event of my PC dying?


Concerned that I may loose the music if the PC dies!?


Thx
Greg

You need some software called Ipodrip to do that. It's free on the Internet somewhere.

Depends if you have uploaded to the iPod to use on it (in which case you will need another application as said) or if you have enabled disk use on the iPod and have copied the files themselves to the iPod.
If the latter you will have no probs at all, the iPod will just act as an external hard drive.
You could also partition the iPod and use some of the 80gb to back up the files as data, although you wouldnt be able to fit all on

I have noticed that since the latest iTunes update, if you have stuff on your iPod which isn't in your iTunes library, you get asked if you'd like to repopulate the library with what's missing. It never did that before!
