How to copy music from your iPod to your iPhone

A couple weeks ago, we got Allison an iPhone and put her on my AT&T account. She also has an iPod that was originally synced up with an older PC and I found that there was no easy way to move files from the iPod to the iPhone without erasing everything on the iPod. I did a little Googling and came across iLinkPod which worked wonderfully and for free too! So how does it work??? Easy, it creates a shortcut folder on the desktop pointing to your iPod so that you can add files to your personal iTunes Library.

Step 1: Download the application! Get it here

Step 2: Hook up your iPod (DO NOT SELECT THE ERASE AND SYNC OPTION in iTunes) and then launch iLinkPod. Select the first button to “Select your iPod”

Select you iPod

Select you iPod

Step 3: Click the button that says, “iLinkPod!” and review the console to make sure it successfully connected and retrieved your files.

Creating folder iLinkPodFolder on your desktop…OK

YOUR FILE LIST

…done…that’s all!

Step 4: Now open iTunes and browse to File | Add to Library…

Add Files from iPod

And that’s it! Now your iPod songs are on your computer and can be synced with your iPhone the next time you plug it in!
