Hi list, Reposting a question I had in another way. I'm looking to retrieve my iTunes media from my iPod while the same time preserving playlists and links to songs in my library. I first changed my library to a drive with space and then used Ipod Manager (or some similar utility) to retrieve all my media, then dropped all the newly created backup file onto my open library. Everything worked fine but I have doubles now and broken links from my playlists. It's something I guess but I'm wondering if I can try a different approach so my playlists stay intact. Many thanks for any help. Kevin ----------------
