Do you love the the music playlist of  your friend’s or co-worker’s iPod? You can now copy the songs to your computer, and then later copy them to your iPod using iTunes if you have one. Almost everyone carry an iPod  these days, if you love someone’s music playlist you can borrow his iPod for few minutes and copy his music to your computer instantly. iDump is a free little tool that lets you copy all music from any iPod to your computer.

There are  two types of files, one is a simple installer and the other is an executable file which you can download from here.

Just connect your iPod and run this tool(executable file), it will display the list of music with artist and album details. It also shows the file size of each song. Below is the screenshot I took which connecting my friend’s iPod(he has hell lot of Indian songs).

    Comment for Ubuntu Linux 9.10 -

    Rhythmbox will do the same job if you’re using Ubuntu Linux. Drag and drop the songs you would like to rip from the iPod to the section headed ‘Library’. Rhythmbox will then automatically create properly named folders for the collection, located in the user’s ‘Music’ folder on the /home/username/Music folder.

    If you try and copy directly from the iPod’s music list located in Rhythmbox to a particular folder on the hard drive, the result will be unhelpfully-named files.
