I can dump the audio files from a 5th Gen iPod Nano to a Mac. However 
(and to my mind, this is a pretty big "however"), what you'll end up 
with is a folder stuffed with a bunch of files with names like 
"08A91F4C26BDE7.mp3", and *NO* metadata of any kind (unless there's 
something useful actually buried in ID3 tags within the files) being 
preserved.

I don't have (or have access to) an iPhone of any generation to try my 
method and determine if it'd be useful on those.

Unfortunately, the process for dumping an iPod's audio onto a Mac isn't 
something I can tell you how to do - It's not that I consider it 
"secret" or anything, it's just that it's one of those "I can do it, but 
I couldn't *TELL* you how if my life depended on it" things... If you 
were sitting here next to me, I could SHOW you how I do it, but trying 
to *TELL* you is, for me, a task on a par with brain surgery - I could 
try, but the results probably wouldn't be at all pretty or useful.

Be aware that the capability to grab data from the iPod (and presumably 
the iPhone, and probably the iPad) is intentionally crippled - If you 
could just go to your buddy's house, load his iTunes library onto your 
device, then bring it home and plug it into your machine and snatch it 
into your own library easily, piracy would be too simple, and I doubt 
the iTunes store would have anything to sell, since the music folks 
would have told Apple to take their idea and shove it where the sun 
doesn't shine and the air quality is highly questionable. The way things 
are, Apple can honestly say "Look, we don't provide any capability to do 
any such thing - in fact, we make it a point to wipe anything on the 
iDevice that isn't already in the library our software uses before 
allowing our software to work with that device! Doesn't that prove we're 
anti-piracy?"

you're doing it the hard way.

there are numerous apps that copy music off the iphone with a couple of
clicks and unmangle if necessary.

itunes only wipes the device if the user wants to wipe it. under no
circumstances does it wipe it without consent.

Who said anything about "without consent"?

Load your iPod with music. Unplug it. Take it to your buddy's house and 
plug it into his Mac. Until you say "Yeah, go ahead and clobber it", 
iTunes won't let you do squat with it.

what you wrote suggests that itunes will automatically erase the
device. it will not erase anything unless the user says do it.
otherwise it's left untouched.

it also has nothing to do with piracy and everything to do with syncing
to one host.

Only to you.

> otherwise it's left untouched.

Sure it's left untouched. It also refuses to permit any further 
operation against the device until such time as the user says "Yeah, go 
ahead and wipe it". If you synch from your buddy's computer, you can't 
add something from your own library, you can't transfer what came from 
his machine to yours, you can't delete individual items from it - in 
short, you can't do jack shit with the device until you permit iTunes to 
wipe it.

I guarantee that it has to do with piracy. If it were "just" about 
synching, there'd be no problem whatsoever in adding stuff from 
"foreign" libraries. Or doing any other operation against the device 
without requiring it to first be wiped.

then you'd be very, very wrong.

syncing a device with more than one host is *very* complex and the
majority don't care anyway. all they do is sync to one computer, their
own, and they're happy.

Hell! If you are really that desperate to get to the music files in 
your iOS device without using iTunes, just get "iMazing" (It actually 
works pretty well).

See?  No one can help you.  Serves you right for getting involved with Apple iShit.

You can't transfer an iTunes library from one Apple device to another!!!!!

Pretty fucked up.
