[DM-MUG] Copy music from ipod

[Bryan Baker]

I believe he was asking what utilities to get the music back off the  
iPod works best. Not about drive recovery tools.
Never did that myself, so have no good answer, though it used to be  
pretty easy, until it became widely known how to get the files off.  
After that they started obfuscating the filenames iirc.

Here's a version tracker page with a search for likely suspects:

http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php? 
mode=basic&action=search&str=ipod+music+extractor&srchArea=mac% 
7Cosx&x=0&y=0

Can't vouch for usefulness or safety (etc..)
