Media files are stored on an iPod in a hidden folder, along with a proprietary database file. The hidden content can be accessed on the host operating system by enabling hidden files to be shown. The media files can then be recovered manually by copying the files or folders off the iPod. Many third-party applications also allow easy copying of media files off of an iPod.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): On what kind of operating system can hidden iPod files be accessed?
