If it works and you have a lot of music it is worth the $15 to register.

Not in this economy ....

This has worked for me in the past.

How to copy songs from your iPod to your PC
By Gina Trapani, 1:20 PM on Fri May 27 2005, 803,220 views
Update, May 2008: For newer iPod models, see our complete guide to copying music from your iPod to your computer.

A reader points out a straightforward way for Windows users to transfer music from an iPod to your hard drive, without extra software:

Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.

In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.

In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."

Navigate to the Music folder. On my 2nd gen 'pod, the full path is Portable Media Devices\GINA'S IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music

Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.

And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.")

Thanks.

I forwarded the info to her. Ball is in her court now if she takes the initiative to ask for my assistance then I know she is really concerned about getting them back on... if not I'm not going to worry about it.

The reason her computer had to be reformatted was because she was peer to peer file sharing (music)... something I told her to be aware/careful about because of virus/spyware/malware of which she got.
