How to Transfer Playlists from iPod to iTunes

Every iPod user will have some unique playlists on his/her iPod, and every playlist is full of his/her favorites. When this playlist has formed, the iPod user may not want to change the list for a pretty long time, because the songs in the playlists are all real favorites after maybe a longtime collecting. That’s why iPod users want to transfer playlists from iPod to iTunes, and another reason may be that they accidentally delete the playlists in iTunes but have same playlists on iPod.

But when it comes to how to transfer playlists from iPod to iTunes, it confuses some iPod users, because the latest version of iTunes doesn’t allow users to import playlists any more.
