How do I add songs to my IPod without erasing previously stored songs?

Question

I have ITunes on a home computer and all the songs on my IPod are on the ITunes on that computer. I set up ITunes on a laptop computer and want to put music from my laptop ITunes onto my IPod, however, I don't want to lose the songs already on my IPod and when I try syncing those songs it wants to write over the songs already stored on my IPod. Is there anyway to avoid this problem?

Answer 1

Download and install iDump to your laptop (it's 100% FREE)

Connect the iPod to the laptop & hold down the SHIFT+CTRL keys simultaneously, give the iPod a moment or two to load then release the keys

Open iDump and select the folder you wish to transfer the music to and transfer

Import the files into iTunes, and - if you have bought music from iTunes - click on STORE > AUTHORIZE COMPUTER, enter your email+password, then close/re-open iTunes.

Voila.

Sync, listen and be content.
