[X4U] iPod/iTunes problem

[Jan Melichar]

Thanks for the tip. In fact I used TinkerTool to make them visible  
but quite apart from their names bearing no helpful relation to what  
I was after after copying them over to the computer I could get only  
a few to appear in iTunes; it was all a bit odd and frustrating when  
I thought I was being so clever! What are the 'usual tools to list  
and copy files'
