OK,

So I got an iPod. It's pretty nice. I hook it to my mac, buy a couple of albums, very nice.

I go to work where I've ripped a ton of CDs to MP3 so I can listen to them. I figure I'll just download all the MP3s to the iPod and we're good to go.

1.) iPods come formatted for Macs, not PCs. I didn't really want to reformat it, I just wanted to move some MP3s on it. Luckily, I grab this utility called XPlay3 that lets me look into the iPod. I transfer over all my files and everything is hey presto good.

2.) I come home and hook my iPod up to my Mac. It syncs up and all my MP3s are gone. What the hell? How do I get it to stop overwriting the MP3s? Is there a way I can transfer the MP3s off the iPod and into the Mac?

Thanks
Tom

Examining xPod little further, it looks a bit old, so it may or may not work with more modern iPods. If it doesn't, check out iLounge's software page (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/software/osx/), which lists several apps claiming to do what you want.
