How to transfer IPhone songs into another computer without using any programs?
Q. I have an iphone and the laptop that I sync it to crashed. So now I can’t update my phone into another computer because that will cause everything to get deleted.
Does anyone know how to transfer songs from the iphone into another computer without using any programs? And step by step instructions on how to do so?
Thanks.

I have done this on Windows Xp.
If you go to My Computer, up top select tools, folder options, hit the view tab, select show hidden files and folders.
now if you plug in your iphone and go to My Computer, it should be displayed there.
click on it and go through it.
There should be a couple folders with 3 letter tittles.
Save all of em and now you have all your songs.
Windows Media Player should know the song tittles. You can rename them.
There is no way to do it without using third-party software. Apple simply did not design it to work that way.
Here is an application that I would recommend http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/
This is the “My Computer” for the iPhone.
Make sure auto-sync is turned off. If the laptop has iTunes installed already, simply connect your phone to the laptop and once iTunes appear, click on your device and uncheck “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected”. Then proceed using the iPhone Browser application mentioned above to restore the data from your iPhone onto your laptop.
