If you are looking for a quick way to copy music from your Apple iPod to a computer you might find the software iPod Folder which is available for Windows and Mac more than suitable. Users can start the transfer of the music with just three clicks. The first click selects the iPod that is connected to the computer, the second click selects the destination folder on the computer and the third finally starts the transfer of the music.
The tool can be configured to copy only mp3 files, retain the mp3 folder structure of the iPod and to overwrite existing files. The size of the music collection on your Apple iPod is shown as soon as you select the correct drive letter of the iPod. The space on the hard drive is however not listed in the application which makes it a bit of a guessing game if the music will fit on the hard drive.
The biggest advantage of iPod Folder is in my opinion that is it a portable application. This means that you could copy the software to your iPod and use it on another computer without having to download it before you can start copying the music from the iPod.

i prefer using idump.exe. It’s only 195k, and essentially does the same thing. But this isn’t bad at all. Good find.
