Further Information

Copy music from your iPod to your external hard drive with TouchCopy

First, please connect your external drive and open TouchCopy options. In the save location field, select a location on your external hard drive. Close TouchCopy options and proceed copying music to your external drive as given in our online TouchCopy user guide.

You can then import your music from your external drive into iTunes by selecting the File tab in iTunes and then Add folder to library.

You can also copy your files to iCloud Drive. Saving to the iCloud Drive means all of these files will be accessible by your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC, as long as the iCloud Drive App is active on each device.

I copied most of my music from my ipod to an external hard drive. My question is how do you then copy files from external hard drive back to my ipod so I can sync the music.

@ken iTunes must be used to sync your music from your computer to your iPod device. Once the music has been added to your iTunes Library, the standard sync process can be used to transfer your iTunes Library music to your device.
