- Two USB cables to connect your iPod and the MP3 player to the PC respectively

- A Windows PC to operate iTunes on

- The iPod from which you wish to transfer music

- The MP3 player to which you wish to transfer music

Here are the steps you need to follow to transfer music from iPod to MP3 player:

This is one of the most tedious processes out there - simply because you will need to use your computer and as all Apple fans know, Apple doesn't want you to access the data on its devices easily.

Step 1 Connect iPod with PC

First, connect your iPod to your computer with the USB cable. Open iTunes. Download iTunes for PC if you don't have it. All of your iPod data will now load in your iTunes.

Step 2 Enable Disk Mode.

You now need to enable disk mode to be able to transfer from your iPod to MP3 player. For this, you will find the name of your iPod on the left hand side panel of iTunes. Click on this. You will see an options section next. To enable disk mode, now check the "Enable disk use'" box under Options. Click the "OK" button when prompted to confirm the setting.

Step 3 Open Tools menu

After closing iTunes, proceed as follows: Go to My Computer and find the icon under Devices called "iPod Touch". Double click on it and then press "ALT." Now the Windows Explorer will come up on screen. Now access the "Tools" menu.

Step 4 Show Hidden Files

Now from "Folder Options", and click on "View" tab. Then choose "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and select "Apply" and next click on "OK."

Step 5 Copy and paste music

You will have your music collection in iPod visible in your computer. You will see an 'iPod_controls' folder. Open this, and copy the music folder. Now paste this folder wherever you want to save your music.

Step 6 Disconnect your iPod

Disconnect the USB cable to remove your iPod after the music folder has been copied onto your computer.

Step 7 Connect your MP3 Player to PC and Open it on PC

Connect the MP3 player to your computer and open the software program that came with the MP3 player to which you want to transfer the music. Click and drag the Music folder into the MP3 player program's library and wait for the program to finish processing the library addition. It may take a few minutes as the program will have to gather and display the metadata (i.e., the song names and artists) for each song you added.

Step 8 Sync the music

Find the "Sync" button in the software. The sync will soon be complete. Your transfer from iPod to MP3 player is now complete.
