3.
In the tools menu(of the windows explorer), go to folder options. Click the "view" tab then
under "hidden files and folders" click "view hidden files and folders".
4. Now click ok, then click on the iPod_Control folder, and then the music folder.
5. You should see a bunch of folder named F01, F02 etc. up to a high number.

randomly distribute them throughout these folders, just to make your
life miserable. But You can take care of that!

Apple made it even harder for you though. They rename all the files and
randomly distribute them throughout these folders, just to make your
life miserable. But you can take care of that!
Apple stores your music files with weird names like these :
AETX.m4a , AOEL.m4a , JPKU.m4a , QWQF.m4a , XLXW.m4a , YCHZ.m4a …etc…
So it becomes really difficult to know the title of the song.
9. So here’s a small step to be done."Enqueue" all your music files from the folder to Winamp Music Player. Now you will be able to see the titles of the songs.
10.Now at the top menu of the folder (where the back button and stuff
is) click "search". There should be a little search thing on the left.
Click "all files and folders" then click "more advanced options".
8. Under more advanced options, click "search hidden files and folders" and "search subfolders"
9. DONT ENTER ANYTHING INTO THE SEARCH BOX - just click search.
10.
Under the "view" menu, select "details". Then go under the view menu
again. go to "choose details". Deselect everything except for "name"
"title" and "artist" - those three should be checked.
11.Again, under view, (assuming it stayed in detail mode) go to "choose
details" and uncheck everything except for name, title, and artist. you got it, the title and artist of everything you searched for.
13.Now create a new folder on your desktop or in any of your PC drive’s, called, for example, "Music from my iPod"
transfer, and click and drag them into the folder you just created.
Note : Keep the Winamp player still open with the songs Enqueued, to check in case you have some doubt.
Enjoy your music station
