Synchronize iPod on different computers.

I have two computers – home desktop and work laptop. No, I’m not bragging =) The fact that some time ago, I was tormented by the lack of synchronization capabilities of my iPod with both of them. Now I found a solution and is ready to share them with you!

For this is not a very clever procedure, you will need a Hex editor and 10 minutes of free time. Hex Editor can be downloaded, for example, here.

1. On the first computer, I have a home, open a search box and look for the file iTunes Music Library.xml. I got it done immediately, at first I found the files containing the “iTunes”, and then chose the one you want.

2. Open it with notepad.

3. Find the line beginning with ” Library Persistent … ”

4. We remember, and write better code located between the tags and . I have it – 811AED371B43A43D.

5. On the second computer – I did it on a laptop, we repeat all of the points 1-4.

6. Thus we have two codes: 811AED371B43A43D – for the first computer and HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH – for the second computer.

7. Then make a backup of the file iTunes Music Library.xml on the second computer so that it can be changed without fear of personal harm.

8. In the hex-editor on the second computer, open the file iTunes Music Library.xml.

9. Open the option “Find and Replace” (Find and Replace) in the first line enter the code that you’ve already got from this file – HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, and in line to replace enter the code that drew from the same file on the first computer – 811AED371B43A43D. Besides this, we put a point near the function Replace All.

Now you can easily synchronize your iPod with two computers!
