+As we all know it's simple to load music into the iPod whether it's with iTunes or any number of alternatives. 
+But what about getting music off your iPod? That's not so simple. 
+In fact, using only the tools provided by Apple, it's impossible; there is no way to transfer songs from an iPod to anywhere else. 
+Ostensibly the reason is so we don't all go copying each others music from one iPod to another. Personally, I find this assumption of criminality irritating, there are in fact a number of legitimate reasons you might need to transfer songs from an iPod to your hard drive.
+For instance, suppose you hard drive crashes taking all your MP3's with it? What if the capacity of your iPod is larger than your notebook hard drive and as you load music onto your iPod, you delete it off your hard drive to conserve space?
+In short there are potentially dozens of reasons you might want to transfer music off your iPod and Apple has left you with no options, but they did leave the back door open so to speak. 
+There are no hardware or firmware restrictions that stop you from transferring music off an iPod and so a number of non-Apple, third party developers have released tools to help you get your tunes off your iPod and put them wherever you like.
+Next week we'll be doing some reviews of this software and we'd like the hear from you. What tools do you use? We're especially interested in Windows and Linux options. Share your experiences and suggestions in the comments below.
