[452 byte] By [gregscha] at [2007-11-9 11:44:37] 
Hi, and thanks in advance for any help. I've been using Ephpod to transfer and name all the files I want on my Ipod (15GB). Is there a way to back up this information in case it's lost on the Ipod. On my main computer I keep my mp3 files in a couple of different folders, and I didn't transfer all songs to the Ipod. Plus I had to do alot of changing using ephpod to clean up the tags, and get albums etc. listed the way I want them.

hiwhen you select the part "configuration" on ephpod, you can see on the second tab the Name-configuration,on which te songs are backupped.
Here is what i have typed in: %L\%n - %t.mp3
with this entry, a folder is crated for each album, and the song is named!
Try it! It works fine when I backup my Pod!
Just select all song in the View"Songs" by CRTL+A and then copy it with CTRL+ALT+C!
Now it starts!

hi,you connect your pod via Firewire. then it shows up and you can start ephpod.
then you select the view, in which you see "all" the songs on your ipod.
I mean not the view playlist, not recent, I mean the view "all" songs. here is a screenshot: http://www.ephpod.com/help/hs50.htm
here you click into the main window!
Now select all songs by using CRTL+A
Now all songs are selected.
Then you use the shortcut CTRL+ALT+C to copy the songs of your Pod to the harddisk.
make sure you configured the mode how the name and folder is created. how to do that, i explained in my message before.
So that should work fine.
So long!
