TICKET ARCHIVE -> Copying Music form 3G Ipod to ext HD

Hello, I just had my third and final, I hope, itunes library malfunction. As soon as iTunes loaded there was a sign saying that the library file was corrupted.

So now I have a 3 generation 40 gb iPod with over 37 gbs of music that I don't want to loose. Last summer I bought an external 1TB La Cie Drive in order to back up my information, but so far I haven't used at all.

About 3 years ago I used iPod Rip to transfer music from my iPod to my mac. But I erased that version of iPod Rip and last month I Downloaded one I found in Aquisition (version 3.9.1) but it doesn't recognize my very old iPod.

So what I would like you guys to tell what good ripping program could work for me in order to move my music from my very old iPod to my external hard drive

Thanks for your help

Hello Peter, everything worked fine, I was able to move all my music to the external drive using Senuti.
Only one thing, I haven't been able to move the playlists. I tried "dragging and dropping" each of my playlist from Senuti to iTunes but It just didn't work. Could you help with telling me the right way to move playlists from my iPod back to iTunes?

Thanks again
