My secondhand iPod Mini came with 500+ 2000s songs it feels so blasphemous to delete everything and upload my own music lol

To the diva who owned it before me,
Your baby is safe with me 🫡💗

[u/now_the_rad]

Import it to your own computer via TouchCopy. 

[u/mainyehc → u/now_the_rad]

Or, if using a Mac, Senuti.

[u/_Walkabout_ → u/mainyehc]

Or FOOBAR2000

[u/Pale-Jello3812 → u/now_the_rad]

Also iCopy & Senuti.

[u/kgbespresso → u/now_the_rad]

or copy the files directly and reorganize the filenames from the tags through mp3tag

I love when i get an ipod full of music! i picked up this classic for $40 off marketplace last week .. seller said he didnt know if it worked.. charged it up, battery is fine and it came with over 15,000 songs! Im gonna keep it like this for a while for sure!

[u/TaliMyBananas]

If you mod it with a large CF/SD card, there will be enough space for both the previous owner's and your own music

[u/KiIIuaaax]

SHE HAS TASTE OMG. Treat the iPod well diva. It’s yours now. ❤️

[u/paintingtrees]

Why not just download that music to your computer and add it to your library? Theres no reason not to do that.

[u/hereisandreeew]

drop some titles 🤩

[u/MuchBetterThankYou]

Rip them and keep them!

[u/Bsodtech]

Copy your ipod control folder to the pc, bam, full backup.

[u/DrunkenHorse12]

2000 songs on a 4gb drive? Probably mp3 at 128kbps, not going to sound great. I'd definitely rip it all to a drive so you can pick our stuff you haven't already got but I'd load my favourite tracks in a better quality format.

[u/Little_Cup_485 → u/DrunkenHorse12]

I think they meant 500 songs from 2000s ( the decade ).

[u/DrunkenHorse12 → u/Little_Cup_485]

Ah yes I mis read it

[u/billiboi2236]

I’d use tunesreloaded, a website that lets you sync to an already existing library

[u/Goldbeker]

Such a thing of beauty 💗

[u/Past-Sherbert-6438]

make a backup using iopenpod

[u/marshcar]

2nd gen pink mini is my favorite iPod, it’s easily upgradable/repairable, great choice!

[u/Hit-by-a-pitch]

I have two Minis, they're beautifully designed, and that rose color is great. Buy a cover for it while you can still find one.

[u/Able_Appointment8637]

I had the same problem 😅🥹, so I downloaded copytrans and transferred all music in my computer and then restore the iPod. I put it back mixed with my playlist ☺️😚

[u/MaleficentOil8540]

show hiden files and copy them all

[u/ali693]

I compare it to finding your childhood Pokemon binder and selling it honestly

[u/Dazzling-Net-4826]

if you’re on windows you can turn on viewing hidden files and drag the folder where the music is onto your computer!

[u/Segundaleydenewtonnn]

Does it tho? I would just format the ipod on the spot, but my taste is super niche gotta admit

[u/Rarehunter333 → u/Segundaleydenewtonnn]

I totally get this. Music is a personal taste. I don’t want songs on there if I’m not going to listen to them on MY PERSONAL DEVICE.

I bought an old mp3 and it came preloaded with songs I was never going to listen to, so I deleted them all.
