Its too bad you didn't spend the time to make backups of the files you value so much. As far as I know... once its in apple goes and renames it all. BUT your ID3 tags are preserved and should be okay so when you put it in itunes or whatever it will still be sorted but those files are gone unless you can find something to read your ID3 tags and rename the files (the godfather id3 tag editor)

WAAAAT...
how do u use it.?
i downloaded it.. and its vista,
and i went on my music..and all that came out was all the folders with the songs..700+ songs...

what other ways?!

OR, i still have my old computer. what can i do..like an easy way?

[awdark]

dont think you can
just copy the files out and put the files into like... winamp or itunes
it will still show up correctly but the filenames and folders will be way off.

You can use a program called the godfather and there are other pograms that can rename songs based on the ID3 tags

I had to do that before my ipod died.
There are several FREE programs available on downloads.com
Just type in copy ipod and click on Free under License type.
Pick one and you're good to go.
