Have you ever had your hard drive crash?  I know I have, and one of the most painful parts of it is losing all of your music. I had all my music on my iPod at the time, but iTunes won’t let you import music from an iPod.  Therefore, what should work as a great back up device doesn’t really help you out at all. You must clear all the music on it in order to get music back on it. Doesn’t really make sense does it?

Good thing for all of us, there is a great piece of software out there that makes it easy and hassle free to get all that music off your iPod or iPhone.  CopyTrans 4 lets you copy everything on your iPod and iPhone to your computer in order to safely recover your iTunes library. You can transfer all media (music, video, podcasts etc) including artworks, date added, ratings, playcounts and more. It enables you to import iPhone artworks automatically into iTunes and import iPhone media to respective iTunes categories.

Now, your iPod and iPhone are actually a great back up for your iTunes library.
