I was looking through ifile trying figure out where my music is stored on my phone, does anyone know which folder the music is in?

I believe they are at var/mobile/media/itunes_control/music

Thanks. I saw those folders just didn't know how to decipher iTunes naming system. Do you know how I can add music I downloaded to the file so that it will show up in the iPod?

Why not just use iTunes?

I downloaded the song directly onto my phone through another app. It puts the songs in a different folder though.

Sorry can't help then, dont know where that would have been downloaded.

I found where the other app put the song, I just don't know where to put it so that the iPod will find it.

Take it off the phone, put it in itunes, then sync it to your device.

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do. I tried putting it in one of the music folders but I guess it has to be named by iTunes for the player to see it. Thanks for the ideas.
