Hey JIM2209,

Thanks for the question. You can transfer certain types of media from your iPod to a new iTunes library. These include music, movies and TV shows that were purchased from the iTunes Store. If you have music imported from a CD or other source, iTunes can’t transfer this media back to a computer:

Music imported from a CD or other source

- iTunes can't transfer this media back to your computer.

- Back up your iTunes library or use iTunes Match.

Thanks,

Matt M.
