iPod iPod m4a File format has no names of the songs...

[lPHONE]

I have an iPod hard drive in a USB enclosure to pull off the data but all the songs are named something like AIGT.m4a

I could import them all, but I don't have enough room for them and I don't want all of them- just a couple albums. Any software program out there that will let me browse this hard drive and show me the named of the songs?

There should be an XML file on the drive that contains the translation from 4 character iPod files to the actual file names. I've had to do this more times than I would like, and iTunes actually converts the files into the proper names automatically. But since you don't have the space, you'll have to do it manually via the XML file.

Wow, that was quick. 5 stars for you, thanks!

Hey, while we're at it, do you know if there's a way to broadcast 1 song simultaneously on multiple Macs? I'd like to take advantage of having a Mac in each room of my house.

That's what Apple TVs and Airport Expresses are for.

Incorrect. It's a one-time purchase if you want, there are no monthly fees or further fees outside of what you choose (i.e. purchasing iTunes content). I have hundreds of DVD's and I've been converting them to h.264 video to watch on my HDTV. It's great, you get album art, ratings (TV PG, R, etc.) and you don't have to change discs.

It's the same as an iPod: you don't have to buy music from the iTunes store to load an iPod with music, you can use your own content.

You could just use spotlight, since that works on the song data inside as well...
