There are a handful of nice applications you can use to take back control of your iPod.

iPod to Mac Transfer is a Mac OS X application that compensates for the iPod's only downside: Apple only allows you to copy songs to your iPod. If you have two Macs and want to use your iPod to transfer music from one to the other, or you only store your music and videos on your iPod and need to copy them back onto hard drive after a disk failure, you are out of luck! This is where it comes in: it allows you to transfer songs from iPod to Mac running OS X 10.4 or higher.

Step 1. Run the recommended program and connect iPod to your Mac

The iPad has received positive reviews from both amateur and pro musicians, who seem to have found its touchscreen interface extremely convenient to work with during live shows and even in the studio. Many music software makers have realized the potential of the iPad as a musical instrument and released tablet-friendly versions of their respective software.

1. MadPad HD

MadPad HD is, at its heart, an audio sequencer; a device to loop sounds in order to create percussive or musical clips. However, it does so with miniature video clips recorded from, basically, anything. You can record 12 individual small clips of unique sounds, store them on your iPad (or in the cloud) and then play them back by tapping on each thumbnail. A basic looping function is included, plus you can record a larger sequence. You can also change the pitch and volume of each clip, effectively turning a person speaking into a Smurf or Barry White, or making a mundane noise, such as traffic, much more interesting. 

2. Vevo

If you like music videos, then Vevo is where it is all at and is pretty much an essential app for your collection. Land on the homepage and there is a carousel of several featured artists and videos. It's bold, it looks sharp and there is no messing around. Hit the one you want and the video streams, it's as simple as that.

3. Sonos Controller

This handy app acts as a free wireless music controller for your Sonos system. Download the app, install it, press a button on any one of your Sonos ZonePlayers and away you go. It really is that easy. IT enables you to manage your library remotely, and stream music to every room - you can either play different songs in each room or sync all your ZonePlayers to play the same song. Volume can be controlled via the hardware buttons on most Android phones.

4. GarageBand

 This is the most fully functioning music app out there giving you what the majority of individual apps offer, but only better and in one package. You get to play piano, guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and if you've got the right dongle, even record your own guitar playing as well. Broken down into a number of different areas or instrument groups, the idea is that you can play your favourite instruments, lay down a track, and then edit and manage them into a song before exporting said track into iTunes or your desktop and then share it with your friends.

5. SoundHound

You've probably heard of Shazam. We mean, who hasn't? Shazam is a brilliant app and has rightly been massively successful in the app world. But what if there was an app that could do all of what Shazam could, but with added extras? Ah, but there is. SoundHound is like Shazam, but turned up to 11. It's Shazam's bigger, better looking nemesis, that not only recognises music that you play to it, it can also tag tunes that you sing and hum to it. And if you're too shy to sing or hum, you can even just speak the lyrics into it, or type them in if you're feeling shy.

I'm a big fan of the iPod but what I don't like is Apple not being very forthcoming about how to move music from the iPod back to the PC. They're quick enough to tell you how to transfer music from ipod to pc but when you want to do the opposite, Apple clams up tight.

1. In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View. In the Advanced Settings list, under Hidden files and folders, check the radio button for "Show hidden files and folders". Then click OK. You'll get a Windows security warning but it's safe enough to disregard it as we will only be disabling this function for a short while.

2. Plug in your iPod. In Windows Explorer, a folder will now appear with the name of your iPod. Double-click on that. Go to the sub-folders "iPod_Control" and then "music". You'll find your music there randomly scattered across multiple folders and with scrambled file names. But don't worry, the ID3 tags are still fully intact and we are now going to "unscramble" the files.

3. But first copy all the music from those iPod folders into a new folder on your hard-drive. Move all the songs into one single folder and discard all the folders that your iPod made. By the end, you should have one folder in your hard-drive with all the scrambled files together.

4. Open up iTunes and do the following : Go to Edit > Preferences. Under the Advanced tab, under the General "sub-tab", select the local folder where you have copied the music from your iPod (by clicking Change…).

5. In iTunes, click "File" then "add folder to library". Select the folder where all your copied music is. iTunes will now re-import all your music back into the playlists. But more importantly, because you have previously clicked "Keep iTunes Music Folder organised", iTunes will now start renaming and organising your songs into their correct names, albums and folders. This may take a while depending on how many songs you have in your iTunes library.
