Since Apple loves to prohibit you from basic functionality, I was forced to go dig around the interwebs for some software.
I found this rad software called
floola that will allow you to copy anything from your iPhone or iPod to your computer!
The best part it's completely free. I found a few others out there, but most of them sucked or where paid versions. Most of them that can't even do as much as floola.
Download it and give a whirl, floola currently supports
Windows,
Mac (10.3 and above) and
Linux (GTK)!
Ubuntu users:
sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin
Debian users:
su -c “apt-get install libnotify-bin”
