Words of Songs Showing Up As 4 Letters?

My laptop was stolen and the only songs I had were on my iPod. I bought another computer and wanted to move the music from my iPod to my phone. For some reason I was finding it impossible to retrieve my music from my iPod. There may be an easier way but I could not figure it out at the time.

Finally, I found this program that moved the music from my iPhone to my (new) computer for me. Unfortunately, I can't find the program nor can I remember its name. The program did what it was supposed to do and moved the songs for me but now my music shows up as four, capital letters. It has shown up like this all the time on my computer but never on my phone ("non-apple"). Now the music on my new device is showing up as letters and I can't seem to change the name, on my phone. My phone will change the name but it will no longer play afterwards (I have no clue why).

I'd hate to have to review each song individually to change the name of the artist, album and track. Does any know of a program or a way to reverse this? Or a method to get this fixed?

Depending on the file, (or the computer itself), the file could have changed as this has hapened to me before but it showed up as 5 letters. Unfortunatly you may have to do what you don't want to do for i tried to find something to fix it but no cigar. You could put the songs from your ipod on itunes and drag them on your phone and it could work. But since i don't have a close up experience with your problem i can't say.

It is impossible to lose anything that you ever bought from the iTunes Store, as long as you remember your existing iTunes Store Log-in info.

Simply install the iTunes App on your new PC, and when asked for your iTunes Store Log-in info, enter it, and look under the Store's PURCHASES TAB.

All of your stuff will be there. So, just connect your iPhone, iPod, or iPad, and just SYNC it. When done, everything will be where you want it to be.

TIP: iTunes may ask you if you want to replace everything that was on your iPhone, you do, so answer YES. FYI: If you had songs on your Mobile Device that you did NOT buy through iTunes, you will have to RE-ACQUIRE them again, Apple does not keep copies of PIRATED Media Files.
