first, i don’t care about why you think i should get windows. about a year ago, my ibook broke. due to financial reasons, it is finally being replaced tonight. i know i can transfer the hard drive from the old one to the new one with a firewire cable, but i don’t really care about the HD on the old ibook. i’d like to get the MP3’s though as there was a decent collection of music. i have all the music on my ipod. i would like to be able to transfer the songs off of there onto my new ibook. the old one being able to boot up is questionable at best. i realize itunes in untouched format will not let you do this, but i would like to find a way around it. anyone have any idea how to do this? ---

i found a program called sharetunes. near as i can tell, that’s for windows only. basically i’m looking for the same thing, but for mac. i know itunes will let you reverse sync if you bought the songs from itunes…but none of these were purchased…at all. ---

search nyspeed for the ipod question… it was discussed here before. also, besides the firewire option (better be firewire 800 cus firewire 400 is slower than usb2.0, i would just use that) you can just put both laptops on the same network and transfer your mp3s that wai :goodluck: ---

again, the ability to power on the old one is hit or miss. most likely…miss. putting it on a network is out of the question as the screen is shot. i actually just found something on macupdate that might work. i’ll try that tonight. thanks for your advice locutus. ---

also, last resort option is to send me the laptop… ill get your files off and send them to you. ---

dan you can use a program called ‘senuti’ to take the music off your ipod and upload it onto your new mac. [http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/](http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/) like you said there are a bunch of programs, i just found this one to be easier to use. ---
