Syncing iPod Classic to Windows 8.1 PC

My iPod Classic contains more albums than the iTunes library on my Windows 8.1 PC. Can I sync them so that the PC library picks up the missing albums from the iPod? Thanks.

Hey chuckcannon,



Thanks for the question. If your music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the purchases back to your computer. For more information on what you can and cannot transfer back to your iTunes Library, see this article:

No.

An iPod Classic can only have music added to it via your iTunes Library, and only Syncs with one Library. Where did you get the albums, that are on the iPod, that are not in your Library?
