Transfer cable

[djluis2k6]

Anyone know if it's possible to transfer data (songs and video) from one iPod to another while still holding the information tagged to the files such as information for each track and album cover tagged to each track? I currently have the 30GB and was considering upgrading to an 80GB, but I've took some time to clean this one up and make the text for the songs on it for organized, complete with album covers, so I wanted to be able to transfer them to another iPod. So is there some sort of cable and/or software to do this, and also is there software/hardware that will allow me to put it on my computer somewhere as well?

Yes. It's called iTunes.

You don't. You obviously have to have used iTunes to square your current iPod away. Use the same settings in iTunes to load your new one. Just plug it in and let it sync.

Or, if you deleted everything, you'll have to put it back into iTunes from your current iPod (see link on main iLounge page for instructions), then load your new iPod.

There is a gizmo called SyncboxII that will transfer between two USB devices, but I wouldn't trust it for iPods. Not when you already have a free utility designed for it that will do the job.

so I need to hook up both iPods to my computer while having iTunes opened, and iTunes will recognize both at once and I'll have the option to sync them together?
