Hypothetically speaking, how would I transfer a song from one ipod (not mine) to another (mine) via my pc? When I hooked up the one ipod I tried to just drag/drop the song from the ipod to my "music" folder/icon in itunes, but that did not work.

When I say "I tried to..." I mean hypothetically.

It's REALLY simple.

You just grab it from the device and drag it into a folder, then paste it into the other device.

Oh wait.......did you mean IPOD?

Never mind....I thought you were talking about MP3 players that DON'T require suck-ass interfaces.

Only way to do it is to get some third party software that lets you copy from the ipod back to the computer.

Unless the track is one that you purchased from the itunes store. And you authorize your computer for both ipods. Then in theory you can transfer purchased content from the one ipod to the computer. You can then transfer the purchased items from the computer to the ipod.

Or you can get the music legally and not steal it.

If I remember correctly, when you put a song on an ipod, it changed the song title to ashjfas;dlfhja;sdjhf;asjdfh;asdj.mp3 or something like that.

Again, if I remember correctly, you can go into the IPOD through explorer and try to figure out which song is which and move it manually, but it isn't easy, especially if you have a ton of songs.

Just open Itunes and go to File/Add File to Library, navigate to the Itunes folder and add it to the other ipods library...then hit sync.
