C'mon, Mainter. Help the guy out.

 

I'd help you, but I don't have an iPod and the last time I tried to help someone out with this issue it didn't go so well.

shouldn't it put the songs back on the computer/itunes playlist automatically (transferring from the ipod)?

 

You would think that, but sometimes it's a little more complicated than that.

 

iPods have this weird tagging system within the firmware that only seems to work with iTunes or a Linux player called Amarok. I hate the port of iTunes for Windows, it's absolute garbage and it wreaks havoc on PCs.

 

If you transfer the files from the iPod to a PC, sometimes the id3 tags don't quite make it in the process, so you'll end up with all your songs but no titles...just two four digit strings in hex.

 

This was the problem I ran into with my friend's iPod.

 

If rocinhajj has a Mac, then all of his problems are solved. Somehow, I don't think this is the case.

Have you gone to the Apple site?

 

I really doubt you're going to lose all off your music unless you intentionally erase it.

 

And, I've only been working with computers for three years. Granted, that's mainly what I do. Don't sell yourself short, everyone has to start somewhere.
