How to get your Audio Recording from iPod to iTunes

If you are using an iPod on a computer that is not the one you usually sync it on, then the audio recording is a little more difficult to get into iTunes. If you try to plug a school iPod into a school computer it will delete whatever is on the iPod when you sync it. Here is the steps to do it without synching the entire contents of the iPod:

  • Plug the iPod you wish to sync into the computer. Open iTunes.
  • Click the icon for your iPod located on the left side of iTunes. A box may appear asking if you wish to sync the iPod. Exit this box without clicking "Yes," or the music and recordings on the iPod will be deleted.
  • Scroll down if necessary and click on the "Enable disk use" option at the bottom of the iTunes screen.
  • Go back to My Computer. You should see the name of your iPod and an icon for the device located under "Devices with Removable Storage."
  • Double-click the iPod icon in My Computer.
  • Open the "iPod_Control" folder, then open the Recordings folder.
  • Highlight and select each of the files that you recorded. Then copy each of these files.
  • Paste all of the files you copied from the previous step to your desktop. You can then minimize the My Computer window.
  • Click "File" in iTunes. Choose "Add File to Library." Select one of the files you pasted onto the desktop.
  • The recording will then be added to the iTunes library.
