iTunes is the default program for accessing and transferring music, photos and other files for Apple devices. Similarly to other Apple devices, iPod relies on iTunes for its file transferring and backup as the default. Many of us have grown accustomed to syncing and accessing files on our iPod through iTunes over the years since iPod first entered the market many years ago. However, Apple doesn't allow us to transfer non-purchased music from iPod to iTunes library due to Apple's concerns of copyright infringement issue and their ability to generate profit from music and songs purchased from iTunes.
