You should see some numbered folders. look at my screenshot below:

[robrowboski]

could it be because i was running vista on the last comp it was on now im going back to xp on the new one?

[Broni]

Try JXY's suggestion, but I'm still curious...

What do you have in subfolders of those folders?

Nope, it doesn't matter.

only instructions

[Broni]

Right click on your iPod drive, click Search, and type in:
*.mp3
Click Search.

[robrowboski]

it says there are none but i unplugged it and  the music was on there

[Broni]

OK. I suspect why.
In Windows Explorer, go Tools>Folder Options>View tab.
Put a checkmark into: "Show hidden files and folders".
Click OK.
Close Windows Explorer.
Reopen Windows Explorer, and check your iPod drive again.

awsome it worked i can see ipod control now im gonna see if i can copy  the music

[robrowboski]

ok i can get to the music now but how do i save it to my new itunes

[Broni]

You can simply select all those F00, F01 folders at once, and copy them to any folder of your choice on your HD. The best way would be to create some new folder, like MP3...

Transfer music to your hard drive, first. Then, open iTunes, and go File>Add file to library
