Here comes the fun part! At this point you should be inside the iPod. If you haven't already, list the files in the iPod directory and for fun, open up the iPod in Finder as well. Notice anything funny?

There's an extra file in there that Finder won't let you see!

it's called iPod_Control... kind of ironic, no?

and this is where your music lies.

(Picture 7)
Lets explore! Type "cd iPod_Control" and then "ls"

"Music" should be one of the directories listed so lets try there. Type "cd Music" and then "ls"

At this point (depending on how much music you have) you should see a lot of files pop up F00, F01, F02 ... and so on. These files contain all of your iPod's music! and are what we've been looking for.

Feelin' kinda sneaky huh?
