Does anyone know how to move songs from an iPod to iTunes?
For someone reason all the songs from a band I listen to have disappeared off my computer and I'd like to move them back from my iPod.

I think this is an acceptable tradeoff.

Sure, you can now download music from the iTunes store without DRM but that doesn't mean you should just willy nilly start sharing that music with your friends. For one thing, it's illegal. For another, your account information is embedded into that m4a music file. Don't believe me? Try this yourself.
1. Launch Terminal. You'll need to be comfortable at the command line to perform this check.
2. Navigate to one of your iTunes plus downloads. If you have a US iTunes account, you can download the iTunes plus "Ooh La" single of the week.
3. Use the UNIX "strings" command to look at the text in your data and grep to search for your name. e.g.
strings 01\ Ooh\ La.m4a | grep name
Alternatively, open all the strings in TextEdit:
strings 01\ Ooh\ La.m4a | open -f.
Bottom line: DRM-free doesn't mean that Apple suddenly supports piracy.

The new update changed the scrolling. I used to be able to, using the click wheel, scroll quickly through my library. If I put the cursor on the scroll bar and turn the wheel one click, it moved through my library much quicker than if I simply left-clicked on it.
Now, it scrolls just like it would turning the wheel with the cursor in the library window itself. I had just found that "feature" a few days ago, and I really liked it.
No DRM rocks, though, although I don't buy anything through itunes.

so I borrowed an ipod nano for a trip (my mini has terrible battery life) and when I plugged it in iTunes said I need version 7. I was running 6 something. I see that the latest version is 7.3, but I really don't want all the iphone crap (that's what I've read anyway.) Is there a way to get a "lite" version...or maybe 7.0 or whatever version came before the current one? Or should I not worry about it and just go for 7.3.
