Heretofore, I have been managing my daughter’s iPod contents from an iTunes client installed on my desktop computer. I would like to begin turning these responsibilities over to her and her netbook.

Presently she has about 375 tracks on her iPod. I would like to be able to transfer them to the iTunes on her netbook.

iTunes does not appear to be willing to cooperate with this project. It’s perfectly happy to try to sync the currently empty library into her iPod, bu tit won’t tell me how to male the file transfer go the opposite direction.

Will you? Thanks to any who can provide the proper procedure for this.
