How to copy your friends iTunes library and take it home with you.
Macintosh
Re-name folder and remove protected files
Now let's re-name the folder so we know what it is. Let's re-name it
add_to_library all in lower case and with underscores. select the folder
in the iPod window with a single click then press return. The folder title
will change to allow editing and just type... add-to_library than press
return. It will change the folder name and look like this
Before we finish up let's check to see if there are any "protected files"
in the copy we are carrying away us. Protected files are ones that your
friend has actually spent money for on iTunes. These protected files will
not play unless you authenticate your computer with their email address
and password. It's too complex to want to do so let's get rid of them NOW.
Press the "apple" key (to the left of the space bar) and then the "F" key.
It will bring up FinfFile and it will look like this:
Let's modify the search parameters so we can find protected files on your
ipod. Pull down the "Search in" and change it from everywhere to "Specific
Places". This will bring a checkboxed locator that looks like this.
Check the box to the left of your ipod and make sure no others are checked.
Go to the "search for" pull down "Names" and change it to "Extension". In
the blank box to the right of "is" type in "m4p" (for mpg4 protected). It
wil look like this.
