Copying tracks to your PC

There are several ways to copy tracks from your iPod to your computer.
  • Select the tracks you want to copy, and click the 'Copy to PC' button at the top of the window.
  • Select the files you want to copy, and drag them into a folder on your PC
  • Right click on a playlist and select 'Copy to PC'.  This will copy all the files in the playlist.
  • Click 'Backup iPod' or copy the main playlist. This will copy all the files in all playlists to your computer.


SharePod creates xml files which iTunes can import (in iTunes, select File > Import). The file is always called SharePod_Itunes_Import.xml and is placed in the folder you copied your files to. 

If you transferred a playlist (or playlists), then each playlist will be imported into iTunes with the same name as on the iPod.




Copying tracks to your iPod

To copy tracks from your computer to your iPod, you can either click the 'Copy to iPod' button or drag files and folders from your PC into the main (first) playlist. Currently, mp3, m4a, m4v and wav files are supported.

SharePod checks that you dont copy the same tracks multiple times by checking for tracks currently on the iPod with the same Title, Artist and Album tags.

Once the tracks have been copied, SharePod filters the newly added tracks to make it easy to manually update any wrong tags. This behaviour is controllable in the Options window.
