How To Transfer Music From IPod To Computer In Windows 10?

Do you have an iPod that you'd like to put songs on, but you've lost the driver? I am here to help! This guide will walk you through how to transfer music from iPod to Computer in Windows 10.

Microsoft has gained a large lead in the tech race between Apple in the 90s. But when Apple released the first portable device called 'iPod' in the early 2000s, the company quickly overturned a decade of being an underdog.

It revolutionizes how songs were being marketed and purchased and also pushes more opportunities for digital media. Although Apple's iPod systems and the Windows PC are meant to compete with each other, the emergence of the platform 'iTunes' has become a gateway for a PC user to be an iPod owner.

What Is An iPod?

An iPod is a user-friendly, sophisticated-looking MP3 player. It was released first during 2001, catering to Mac users, and almost a year later, iTunes was released. What makes the iPod cut above the rest of the MP3 player market is the large storage capacity and the simplistic yet elegant-looking interface.

If you happened to own an iPod in the era where MP3 players are still rampant in the market, you could definitely identify one from numerous other brands. The categorization of the songs is so new at that time and convenient. People are drawn easily by its hype as a fashion statement among digital products.

IPod's great contribution is how songs, when digital piracy was so uncontrollable, are being accessed and purchased. Instead of buying the whole album, ripped the contents of the CD to the computer, and have them in digital formats, iTunes let you purchase any song you selected instead.

Additionally, this encourages artists to use the platform and display how consumers have so many options in purchasing music. Slowly, this has become a marketing tool, and many platforms, such as streaming, have been sprouting out. The creation of the iPod has offered many great things that we enjoy today.
