Transfer from iPod using the 'find' command
Authored by: kirkmc on Apr 14, '05 11:44:59AM

It's quicker and easier to cd to the hidden iPod_Control folder, then drag all its sub-folders to the iTunes library, which, if iTunes is set to copy, will do the same thing.

Transfer from iPod using the 'find' command

I think what the commenter means is that in Terminal you can type the following to open the hidden iPod Music folder in the Finder:

open /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music
Unfortunately, the numbered music folders inside still remain hidden. Changing the command to
open /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/*
will open every music folder, but selecting and dragging 50 folders worth of music files can also be a pain. Similar results to the initial hint can be had with less typing by doing a cp of everything in /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/*/*. Alternately, you could also do the following:
open -a iTunes /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/*/*

If your shell is zsh, then:

open /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/**/*(.)
to open every normal file (ie. the tunes).

open /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/**/*(.)
will open all the directories.

Not quite sure why you'd want to do this though :-)

Just highlighting the splendour of zsh, really.

Cursed copy/paste!

Last example should have been:


open /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/**/*(/)
to open the directories.

open -a iTunes /Volumes/YourIPodName/iPod_Control/Music/**/*(.)
to force them to open in iTunes.
