Uploading music from iPod - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Does anyone know of an easy and safe way to upload music from an iPod to your hard drive? I am trying to transfer some songs to my work computer and aside from making cds/dvds, I can't figure out an easy way to do so.

I've read a little on podutil, which is supposedly a a decent progam. But I've also read of some ipod hard drive crashes as a result. Other subscription services I've read about are podplus and podrip.

Any experience with any of these programs? Is there an easier way to do it without new software?

I used http://www.copypod.net/. You will pay 20 bucks for it but it has a nice interface and is easy to use. Well worth it.

OK, you are obviously the expert on iPods. I have some RealPlayer music files. Is there any way to convert them so that iTunes will accept them?

The iTunes program has a nice conversion that I have used to convert my wma files mp3 for play. I never use RealPlayer so I forget what files they play, but there are free file converter programs all over the internet if you Google it.
