Can you put the songs that you have on your computer to the ipod touch?

When you attach an iPod to a computer for the first time it will ask you if you want to manage your music automatically or manually. Automatically means that every time you hook up your ipod it will sync all the songs from your iTunes library to the ipod and wipe out all songs on your ipod that are not in your itunes library. Manually means that when you hook up your ipod it will not sync anything: You have to manually drag the songs from itunes to your ipod.

Now if you want to go the other way (get music from your ipod and put it in itunes) that's harder. Itunes doesn't allow you to burn discs from playlists on your ipod so you need to be creative. What you have to do is go to "My Computer" and under the folder options you need to "show hidden files and folders". The ipod music is hidden (for safety reasons) so depending on your computer you'll need to do a bit of searching. Once you find them they'll be labeled with code letters (AJDK for e.g. ) Some will show you the title of the song when you put your cursor over them or check the file properties, but otherwise when you click on them they'll be added to your itunes library. A lot of work for just a simple thing but it works every time.
