Ok heres the situation, I ripped about 3000 songs to my laptop 20% of them I ripped straight to the hdd then manualy typed the song name and wrote the album name on the folder and the rest I ripped straight to I-tunes anyway I gave my laptop to my missus and copied the songs to my extern hdd and now I synced my ipod to my pc and about 1000 songs are in the unkown album/artist category anyway of a quick fix or suggestions to get the song names found?

naming the files isn't the same as putting in id3 tags. i've spent a LOT of time on getting tags perfect for all my music.

Quick question...

How do I get songs from my old ipod, onto my new computer?

Tried dragging and dropping, didnt work.

I think you can mount as hard drive, maybe try that?

I use Advanced Renamer http://www.advancedrenamer.com/ when renaming batches of files. I think there are more versatile programs around but this one is simple to use. Although if you have to do that many songs it is still going to be a massive task. Maybe there is a program that will rename the files from CDDB.

Luke:

there's a hidden folder called on your iPod, can't remember what it's called though, iPod_Control maybe? If you dig in there, all your music is sorted in folders like V01 V02 etc etc (F maybe?) and all the filenames will be something like shze.mp3 (four random letters). Sucks, but that's how they do it.

I've used this program in the past:

Yep, as have I.

DB Poweramp makes doing that really easy.

tag&rename on the pc is brilliant... tritag on mac sucks balls

having said that though; now i've done all my current collection, it's not too much of a hassle to do album at a time as i add them.

ok, renamed them all on i-tunes manually..took hours. Now another issue..i cant add farkn videos i drag them to the "Movies" section, clean on my Ipod on the left click on movies tab, tick the movies i want hit sync and it wont sync onto my ipod..also converted them to MP4 format..

Have you got the box ticked to say sync videos under the main tab? By main tab I mean click the ipod device in itunes then goto the tab "movies" and make sure the "sync movies" box is ticked there.

Yes, i've done that, comes up, up top saying determining which tracks to sync 1/2 determining photos to sync 2/2 or something like that but doesn't seem to find the videos..
