This method does <b>NOT</b> need a jailbroken device and uses free software. Works on 2.x and 3.x devices. Works on non-jailbroken and jailbroken devices.</i><br /><br /><b>1)</b> Download and install MediaMonkey software (the free edition only, no need for GOLD), <a href="http://www.mediamonkey.com" target="_blank">http://www.mediamonkey.com</a><br /><br /><b>2)</b> Connect your iPhone/iTouch and <b>close</b> iTunes if it loads. Cancel the warning about a sync deleting your music if you get this popup.<br /><br /><b>3)</b> Load MediaMonkey and select your device in the left panel as per 1st screenshot below. You should see all your music in the right panel complete with Artist/Album/Title.<br /><br /><b>4)</b> Ctrl-A to select all songs in this list.<br /><br /><b>5)</b> Ctrl-R (or Tools|Auto-Organize Files)<br /><br /><b>6)</b> Select as per the 2nd screenshot below. Make these adjustments,<ul><li>Check "Copy Files to new destination based on track tags"</li><li>In destination, make it like: <i>D:\Music\Extract\&lt;Album&gt;\&lt;Artist&gt; - &lt;Title&gt;</i> ,where "D:\Music\Extract" is the location where you want to store your extracted music). The "\&lt;Album&gt;\" part directs MediaMonkey to extract your music in folders based on the Album name of the song.</li><li>Uncheck "Add copied tracks to the library"</li><li>Now go through the entire list and untick any duplicates (will be marked in red)</li></ul><br /><br /><b>7)</b> Click OK and wait for the copy-rename process to finish. When it has finished you should have a complete backup of your music from your device onto the computer.<br /><b>8)</b> Close down MediaMonkey.<br /><b>9)</b> Verify all your music is in this folder & satisfied it is all there.<br /><b>10)</b> Extraction of your music files from your iPhone/iTouch is complete!<br /><br /><br /><img name='img' src="http://www.gooroo.com.au/forum/uploaded/jason/MediaMonkey-Main.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'><br /><br /><br /><img name='img' src="http://www.gooroo.com.au/forum/uploaded/jason/MediaMonkey-Extract.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'><br /><br /><b>Rebuilding the iTunes Library</b><br /><br /><b>11)</b> It is then a simple matter of loading iTunes, allowing a sync (which then deletes all music off of your iPhone/iTouch). After the sync you should have no music on your iPhone/iTouch and the iTunes Music library is empty.<br /><b>12)</b> OPTIONAL: Enabling consolidation. Edit|Preferences, Advanced tab, check both "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library:<br /><b>13)</b> Select File|Add folder to libary and navigate to the folder that stores your extracted music (D:\Music\Extract in my case). This will then import all your songs into the blank library.<br /><b>14)</b> Done!<br />]]></description></item><item><title>Suspected SCAM: ABOL (abol.com.au) <i>(01-09-2009 08:53:47 AM)</i></title><author>Jason</author><link>http://www.gooroo.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6890</link><ttl>10</ttl><pubDate>Tue, 1 Sep 2009 08:53:47 +0100</pubDate><description><![CDATA[ A internet directory by the name of ABOL sent us an invoice for which we never approved of in being listed.

I thought it summed it all up so I added it here...<br /><br /><b>The Price of Children</b><br /><br />This is just too good not to pass on to all, something absolutely positive <br />for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising <br />a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this <br />way. It's nice.<br /><br />The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from <br />birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle income family. <br />Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.<br /><br />But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into:<br /><br /> * $8,896.66 a year<br /> * $741.38 a month, or<br /> * $171.08 a week.<br /> * That's a mere $24.24 a day!<br /> * Just over a dollar an hour.<br /><br />Still, you might think the best financial advice is don't have children if <br />you want to be "rich." Actually, it is just the opposite.<br /><br />What do you get for your $160,140.00?<br /> * Naming rights. First, middle, and last!<br /> * Glimpses of God every day.<br /> * Giggles under the covers every night.<br /> * More love than your heart can hold.<br /> * Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.<br /> * Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.<br /><br /> * A hand to hold usually covered with jelly or chocolate.<br /> * A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites.<br /> * Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said <br /> or how your stocks performed that day.<br /><br />For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to:<br /> * finger-paint<br /> * carve pumpkins<br /> * play hide-and-seek<br /> * catch lightning bugs, and<br /> * never stop believing in Santa Claus.<br /><br />You have an excuse to:<br /> * keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh<br /> * watch Saturday morning cartoons<br /> * go to Disney movies, and<br /> * wish on stars.<br /> * You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator <br /> magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand <br /> prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for <br /> Father's Day.<br /><br />For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck.  You <br />get to be a hero just for:<br /> * retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof<br /> * taking the training wheels off a bike<br /> * removing a splinter<br /> * filling a wading pool<br /> * coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that <br /> never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.<br /><br />You get a front row seat in history to witness the:<br /> * first step<br /> * first word<br /> * first bra<br /> * first date and<br /> * first time behind the wheel.<br /><br />You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, <br />and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called <br />grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an education in psychology, <br />nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no <br />college can match.<br /><br />In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all <br />the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch <br />a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them <br />without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the <br />cost. That is quite a deal for the price!<br /><br />Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!  It's the best investment <br />you'll make!]]></description></item><item><title>No sound driver detected <i>(13-07-2006 2:26:51 PM)</i></title><author>smat</author><link>http://www.gooroo.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3136</link><ttl>10</ttl><pubDate>Thu, 13 Jul 2006 14:26:51 +0100</pubDate><description><![CDATA[ I'm having trouble with the sound on my laptop.
