iPod Burning From iPod

[Glenn Wolsey]

I received this email from my Dad's friend earlier today and I'm stumped. I dont actually think what this guy wants to do is possible, but maybe someone will have an easy solution:




Gidday Glenn,

I have a question re: Burning CD's from i-tunes via connected i-pod.

I believe a 'burn CD' symbol is supposed to appear once a playlist has
been selected in the top right hand corner of the i-tunes application.
This is not happening when we've selected the playlist from the i-pod
connection.
We've deleted all the music from the i-tunes library and we were
hoping to burn CD's directly from the i-pod. All the music show's up
on i-tunes but we still have NO 'Burn CD' icon showing up on the
i-tunes.

Could you advise on any way for us to get this problem sorted? We've
spent a lot of time and effort to transfer all our music to the i-pod
and just discovered we're unable to burn playlist selections back from
the i-pod.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you can't burn directly from an iPod.

What if the iPod is set to Manually Manage Songs? I haven't tried it myself, but you should be able to burn from that. If not, you could drag the tracks or playlists back into iTunes and burn directly.

Senuti is good for backing up iPod libraries onto iTunes.
