[QUOTE="bikinpunk, post: 3710201, member: 568114"] copypod, yamipod (free) (not sure if they're mac compatible though, but I think one of them is) Sounds to me like you have "autodetect" set on iTunes. Whenever an iPod is plugged in iTunes loads up automatically and will then sync to the iPod... that's where your problem is. What sucks is that you have to plug up the iPod to turn this off in the "preferences", but since it's already blank go ahead and reconnect the iPod to the computer. When iTunes pops up go to the iPod options and disable the "autodetect" or whatever it's called. You should be good to go then, and connect your bro's iPod to your computer. Then fire up one of the above programs. Actually, even if you connect his iPod to your computer it shouldn't auto update it unless you guys were sharing the same iTunes library. If you weren't it'll ask if you want to sync his iPod to your iTunes. Say no. Then disable the autodetect and shut down iTunes and use one of the above programs to rip the music. [/QUOTE]
