Hello All,
O.k. I didn't consolidate my itunes library when I tried to move them to another drive. Now that that huge mistake is out in the open.......... So now, I am trying to import my songs from my ipod back to itunes using ipod viewer.. I have used this software once in the past and it worked great..This time around, it has taken like 15 hours to transfer 4.5 gig from a 30 gig ipod. I have it set to transfer artwork, playlists, and replace duplicates. The first time I used this, I only was dealing with maybe 5 gigs, but it certainly didn't take this long..
The i pod is the bottle neck as far as transfer speed, I assume.
Is there a quicker, easier, more logical ways of getting my songs back? I have them copied to an external drive, but as I forgot to consolidate the library,I can't get Itunes to find them on drive b.. I get the exclamation point to the left of every song and a pop up asking if want Itunes to find it...I answer, YES, PLEASE.....but to no avail.
At this rate, it looks as if it's going to take a week to do this upload..This can't be right, right? Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated, Randy
