Today, lots of iPod users have a huge music library which is kept on their computers. But what if your computer’s hard drive crashes and your music library can be found nowhere?

Actually this situation happen frequently, so i would like to share my opinion with you.

According to my experience you can do the following steps:

1.Insert your iPod to the computer USB or FireWire port and wait for the computer to recognize it (PC should be Windows based).
2.Make sure "disk use" has been enabled.
3.Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open your iPod.
4.If you can not see the ‘iPod Control’ folder, it’s hidden and invisible. To unveil it so that it’s visible, find Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders”.
5.Double click on the newly shown 'iPod Control' folder and open up the folder called 'Music'.
6.Select all the folders and copy them to a new folder on your computer’s hard drive. Now you can eject your iPod.
7.To reveal the names of the songs and other data tags on the copied files, you should drag the files to the Windows Media Player or iTunes libraries or switch to “Tiles” view in Windows Explorer.
8.Rename the file if necessary. (iTunes will already have the tags stored for these songs so renaming them should not be an issue.
