Realistically, the restrictions creates a problem. Several
years ago my daughter gave me an iPod, about half filled with
some of my favorite music. The source for the music was my
music collection, consisting of some irreplaceable recordings,
including original Louis Armstrong, Toscanini, Caruso, Lanza,
three different versions of Wagner's first, etc. The original
computer that she used is long gone. I would like to transfer
the music to my iPhone, and add new music. Apple has told me
that it can't be done. I'm sure there is a way. The suggestions
on some of the Internet forums has not been very helpful.
Realistically, the reality is that you don't know what the hell
you are talking about. Don't give me that bull about "most."
There are many others who have needs similar to mine.



Since I have first hand knowledge of my problem, and some here wish to
provide an answer based upon situation A, when situation A is not the
issue. I will simplify.

All music on my iPod is backed up.
I can easily transfer the existing tracks to my iPhone.

that's not what you said originally:

The original
computer that she used is long gone. I would like to transfer
the music to my iPhone, and add new music. Apple has told me
that it can't be done. I'm sure there is a way.

and based on the revised situation, there is no problem.

My issue is modifying by adding additional music.
(All of which is legally owned.)

also very easy to do and again, not the original stated problem.


Do read the words: "and add new music," that is stated in my original
post, and quoted above by you.
I clearly used the word "and" as a conjunctive. You decided to rant
about only the first part.
