Ok, I have a conundum…maybe somebody can help. I had an old 40 gig iPod that served me long and well. It had about 7000 songs on it…everything from Slayer to Spice Girls. I was over in the Prague and I thing the Euro power fried it because when I got back the iPod would play but the computer wouldn’t recognize it, so I couldn’t add new songs. My only choice was to re-format.
Luckily, I had backed up 95% of what I had on an external drive, so I just went out and bought a new iPod. Here’s the problem: not when I try to add folders with my old music back into my new iPod / iTunes the damn iTunes 7 won’t add them back in (maybe some kind of anti-piracy thing).
The irony is 90% of the music I spent days burning CD after CD that I bought on the first iPod.
Question is: Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there some way to get around this shit? Would it be more helpful to download iTunes 6 (it seemed to work fine on that)? Can you even do that? Is there some find of work-around (Mac legal or ill-legal) that will bypass this shit?
If anyone can help me out that would be great. You don’t realize what a big part of your life is an iPod is every day until you don’t have one.
Playlists are like crack.
