Yello!
Does anyone know how to backup files from ipod to computer and retain all the database info?
If I do it manually then all the .wav files end up missing their tags on itunes.
(mp3 files are fine.)
Using floola or sharepod ends up with the same result.
Since many hours have been spent rating and filing all these songs I don't want to start again so any advice appreciated!
Thanks!
Amir

None I know of – the iPod library is going to be in a different format than the iTunes library. It'll need a smart program to convert from one to the other.
CopyTrans sounds like it might be able to do this. Hard to tell from their web site. Maybe an email to the developers might be able to answer this question. copytrans@copytrans.net
Good luck.

Copytrans replied saying that they don't yet support WAV, but I found another 'TuneAid' that seems to work well, it only misses the 'sorting' tags for WAV files, but manages all the other details, which makes it much less work then the others. I'll let you all know if I find any more problems with Tuneaid but so far thats my recommendation.
I've got iPod Copy Expert installed iPod Copy Expert - Copy from iPod to computer, import to iTunes. Don't know if it does .wavs because my iPod only have .mp* files.
Just from the heading of the web page – "copy to computer, import into iTunes" – it sounds like this wouldn't work. The metadata *needs* to be copied from the iPod database directly into the iTunes one. Unlike MP3s, in a WAV file, there is no place for this metadata to "live" outside of these protective environments.
