How do i get music from my ipod to a cd?

To do this, you drag the music in your music library on your PC, NOT IPOD, onto a playlist..Then insert a blank re-writable cd, go into the playlist and at the bottom right corner there is a burning option...BA?

If the music is on your ipod and not the computer, then it gets complicated because its ILLEGAL. Or else everyone would give each other songs and not pay for them! BUT, i'm broke so I havent paid itunes a penny and have over 800 songs. Follow these directions, it's complicated and took me like 30 minutes to figure it out but it works.

What you are going to have to do is basically hack into your own ipod to get the music saved onto your computer. Then you can drag the songs onto itunes library, playlist, etc. from the computer and then make a CD. Good luck!

iTunes allows only one-way synchronization of music from computer to iPod, so if for whatever reasons such as need to reload your library on local hard disk due to desktop hard disk failure or buying new computer, you can easily copy back the video, music and song library from iPod on a Windows PC by following steps:

1.Insert your iPod to a Windows PC USB or FireWire port. (PC should runs Windows XP or other Windows operating system).

2.If your Windows PC still doesn’t have iTunes installed, skip this step. If iTunes is already installed and prompt a message on whether if you’d like to associate this iPod with this computer and deleting its content, click No. Or else you will lose your only copy of library on iTunes. Beside, ensure that ‘Enable Disk Use’ is selected.

3.Open My Computer or Windows Explorer, the iPod should be automatically detected as a portable hard drive.

4.Click on the iPod icon or the iPod portable hard drive letter to open the contents of the drive.

5.If you don’t see a folder called “iPod Control”, it’s hidden and invisible. To unhidden it so that it’s visible, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”

6.Open the “iPod Control” folder, and then the Music folder.

7.The Music folder contains the iPod’s music and videos, divided into folders. Copy the library to local computer hard drive’s My Music folder.

8.The files copied have unintelligible four-letter file names. To reveal the names of the songs and other data tags, add the files to the Windows Media Player or iTunes libraries or switch to “Tiles” view in Windows Explorer.

9.Rename the file if necessary.

First click Create new playlist under file I believe.

After that put a blank disk into the disc drive.

Then drag the songs you want on the CD, and go to the playlist's page. in the lower right hand corner there should be a button that says burn CD or burn Disk. Just click that and you should be all set :)

You cannot directly drag them.There is a way to do that.

Connect your i-pod to your pc and open the drive from your computer.Then go to-tools>folder options>untick on hide hidden files.

After doing this, you will able to see hidden system files and in one of the folder will have all your music files.But, the file names won't be the same so you have to work a bit if you want to sort a single song.But if your collection is small then just follow above steps.
