1) Start iTune and turn of the setting for auto sync.

4) Copy files back to a folder on the computer.
5) Import the files into itunes.
Hmmm ... I hadn't thought of that.
I run iTunes off my Mac, but I don't see any reason why that shouldn't work. Of course, I thought that Apple had already thought of that work around and prevented it. I'll try it later. Thanks for the tip! ^
