Hi there, I have a rather difficult problem-that is, one that could be done manually but it will take a great deal of time. I have an iPod Touch that I manually manage which currently has just under a thousand songs. They take up a little over 4 gb. I also have an old 4 gig (3.68gb i believe) ipod Nano that I want to add the same music that's on the touch to (just a backup and the Nano actually shuffles music a lot faster). I figure this should fit nicely, since everything on the Touch is automatically converted to AAC, if I set the Nano to automatically convert to MP3, I should have plenty of space. The trouble is, the playlist on my Touch doesn't exist anywhere else since I manually manage. The majority of the songs on there I added from a different computer on the same network. There is however a track with the same name in my library for every track on my iPod. I'm not interested in applications that get the files off my Touch, that would just leave me with a mess of duplicates, what I want is a script that looks at the names of the tracks on my Touch then finds them in my library and puts them on a playlist. Any ideas?
