> [@JoesTypeS](#): > > I juist want to add 23 songs…I do not want to take anything off the ipod, only add to it its a one way street with the marry thing. it would be easier and less headaches just to add you 23 songs to your friends laptop. i think there is some utility on the net that might do it like in your sceanario. however, when i was testing it back in the day, it messed things up and you lose everything and you have to re-sync with itunes.\* i \<3 apple 😛 - actually it just formats it, the files are still there :snky: ---

If theres not a lot of music on the ipod, use that program to copy it all to your computer, then sync it with your comp so it copies everything, including the 23 songs. Then when you give it back to him and he re-syncs it with his, all your stuff will get wiped. ---
