Itunes

[Davy]

Back in the day, I had a quality selection of tunes on my iTunes. The computer it was on gave up and the data wasn't able to be retrieved. I have all the songs on an ipod, is there any way of restoring the songs onto a new iTunes? This is going back 10 years, but I've took a notion now that I'd like them on a USB stick to play in the tractor.

Spotify monthly subscription is a tenner. Set it to download on your phone and remember what was on your playlist. Much better than trying to get the data back and less stress

My most used playlist has 250 tracks on it

My advice would be to abandon the iTunes idea and get Spotify. I pay £9/month for myself, wife and 2 kids for unlimited streaming, its a no brainer.

Spotify is also very user friendly.

You can copy the songs from an Ipod to a computer. Obviously Apple don't like you doing it but it can be done using a third party app.... You won't be able to simply play the music from a usb stick in your tractor though as Apple encode it all. Itunes or nothing I'm afraid.

Itunes is pants as is Spotify, you are better off getting Amazon prime, watching ship loads of free TV shows and also use their music service where you can listen to heaps of music for free- plenty enough that you would never get bored of it anyway. Pay a sniff more and get Amazon music unlimited and its all for the taking. I have Amazon music on my phone and a horde of music on it. Plug into tractor and away you go.

Interesting comments - he has all the music he needs - why pay a tenner a month for a subscription service?
Is your itunes associated with an email address?
Can you download itunes to your PC and recover your music??

Was a few years ago but I tried and failed to do it. That’s why I use Spotify. On a number of devices so it’s nice and easy.

I’ve done it when my laptop hard drive gave up. They were all on the itunes installed on the laptop. I somehow managed with a lot of googling to get them back off the ipod but unfortunately never managed to uncode them to get the artist and song names!! I now have hundreds of songs with a code so can’t search on the old iphone I use as an ipod.

I did once manage to mp3 convert a whole playlist off youtube but now have to do them once at a time!! I just blitz ten it twenty songs off at a tine when sat by the fire on a boring evening!! I tunes us wifi now therefore they will sync easily enough.

There are third party apps, I can’t recommend any but a friend used one successfully years ago. All my music is in high quality mp3 format and can do what I like with it, streaming music isn’t my thing as reception is too variable here and just p1sses me off.

Still have an old iPod photo for use in the truck!

I'm sure I used copypod or something to do mine.

I'm puzzled as to why people say Spotify is easy to use. I have monthly sub but find it awkward to use. Also anything with streaming involved leads to frustration.

Perfectly do-able. I’ll have a look and see what I used to do it when I’m on my computer. I’ve needed to do it a couple of times, I now try and be better at backing up. All track names recovered without issue.
