combustion07 03.22.10	Bumpity fuckin bump :/
Urinetrouble 03.22.10	if your computer crashed all your ipod music is erased. no getting it back. shouldve backed shit up on a flashdrive
natey 03.22.10	dude your better off just leaving shit like amon amarth behind
combustion07 03.22.10	That's the odd thing it was only like 6000 of my 20,000+ songs. I don't get what the hell happened
TRMshadow 03.22.10	That's why I have a Zune ^_^
Sowing 03.22.10	uh oh...i better start backing up all my shit. if this happened to me id be pissed beyond belief
combustion07 03.22.10	Shoulda got a zune Its not liked my computer crashed, none of the music that was deleted is even on this computer.
combustion07 03.22.10	I'm gonna back my shit from now on, I almost threw my ipod when I noticed, that wouldn't have been good. Third time I've had an ipod do odd shit like this.
natey 03.22.10	i use a creative zen and love it. proud owner of 3
sneasy 03.22.10	My ipod decided to wipe itself a couple of months ago. Fun times.
combustion07 03.22.10	Yeah I had that happen before last year but my ipod wouldn't turn itself on afterwards.
Trundle 03.22.10	that happened to me too once, it took all the music off my itunes AND my ipod, pretty ghey stuff.
Deviant. 03.22.10	Never had any problems with iTunes. I don't keep any music on the library and I always manually sync
hando 03.22.10	fuck yes, creative zen
Brokenjewel 03.22.10	How can you back an itunes library up? Any advice? I've got eight days and I don't want to lose it.
sneasy 03.22.10	Put it on an external hard-drive? That's what I'm doing from now on.
RedSky 03.22.10	Why do people think only iPods and Zunes exist ... You could try a hard drive recovery too if you haven't thrashed the hard drive too much since it got deleted, you will likely be able to get most of it back. Just search data recovery on your favorite torrent site.
Prophet178 03.22.10	Did you format your computer and try to resync your iPod? If so you're fucked. I doubt it just magically erased 6000 songs without you doing something.
theacademy 03.22.10	what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said what natey said
combustion07 03.22.10	Last thing I did was synch a video, but that was about an hour before it deleted the music
Captain North 03.22.10	At least you don't have to re-download shit. If its just from the iPod, I don't see what the fuss is.
combustion07 03.22.10	No I do have to redownload all the shit. It's from the last computer I had
Captain North 03.22.10	What the fuck, why didn't you transfer the files? An iPod only ever lasts a handful of years anyway.
combustion07 03.22.10	My old cpu crashed but I still had all the stuff on my ipod, I never thought to back anything up because I'm stoopid
DaveyBoy 03.22.10	anythingbutipod.com Stick it to the man. Creative & Sony for me.
EBTCardMania 03.22.10	if it pisses you off don't use it fucking idiot
ninjuice 03.22.10	I've only had the opposite happen. My hard drive crashed and so I had to transfer everything back onto it. 3/4 of it was on CD and the rest you can rip FROM an iPod, luckily.
combustion07 03.22.10	Well would you like to give me something like it for free. Cuz I'm brooookkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
EBTCardMania 03.22.10	sorry bud the entire world doesn't work like obamacare
combustion07 03.22.10	lol Political humor ftw
Prophet178 03.22.10	Are you computer retarded or something? Just resync the songs back to your ipod in itunes.
nttrbttrz 03.22.10	Are you talking about when you sync your ipod and it says "no content" on your ipod's music section? That happened to me recently too and it's a recurring problem. If so, you have to add a new song to be synced and re-sync it. Just re-syncing it does nothing, or at least for me. An alternative if you have nothing else to add is to put a space into the lyrics section of a song that's already on your ipod and re-sync.
ninjuice 03.22.10	^^ "My old cpu crashed but I still had all the stuff on my ipod," You should still have them on CD....just in case.
ninjuice 03.22.10	previous post @ Prophet obviously
Prophet178 03.22.10	Well if his computer crashed and he lost his iTunes then tried to sync his iPod after restoring his PC it will delete all the songs on his iPod and tie it to the new, empty iTunes. It gives you multiple warnings before you do this though. He's fucked two times over now if thats the case, no way to get the songs back.
ButcheredChildren 03.22.10	i suggest you put all your music in a file folder under "Music" for windows, if you have xboxlive this also allows you to access your music straight from your computer without wasting memory. beware though if you drag a song into iTunes from your "Music" file, if you edit the song name in the file folder iTunes won't recognize it and you'll have to re-drag the song back. Personally i never used iTunes, i buy CD's or just pirate with torrents, don't rely so heavily on a website or a piece of equipment. everything has flaws, back up all your shit and i mean ALL of it, it'll take awhile tho.... 20,000 songs? holy fuck, i have close to 6,000 and it took an hour to backup all my music, good luck mann
crazyblinddude 03.22.10	zuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnee!!! ftw
ninjuice 03.22.10	"beware though if you drag a song into iTunes from your "Music" file, if you edit the song name in the file folder iTunes won't recognize it and you'll have to re-drag the song back." That's why you A) have the program manage its music folder when you edit song info and B) have it make a separate copy of songs when you first play them or just rip CDs into iTunes.
ButcheredChildren 03.22.10	or you could just re-drag the song into iTunes... im not a supporter of useless programs that eat memory... :P
UpperDecker 03.22.10	Did you plug your ipod into a different computer instead of your main computer with all your songs? If thats the case, just plug it back into your computer with all your songs on it and they'll be put back on your ipod. If somehow your main computer with all your music crashed and all your music is gone, then you have to start over. Which is a bitch.
Photon 03.22.10	I have a Sony X-Series Walkman ..the sound quality is amazing (use to own a nano which had poor sound even with good headphones)..also i can just drag and drop muisc folders or sync it using almost any porgram like MediaMonkey, WMP,Winamp. Foobar
SlightlyEpic 03.22.10	Never had any problems with my iTunes or my iPod
TheSpirit 03.22.10	This is why everyone should switch their ipod to "manual update" then even if your itunes library gets deleted you can keep all your music on your ipod.
asaf 03.22.10	the expensive solution is to have a tera byte, and back up your 500g hard drive that everything directly goes into, instead of it being on your computer. besides, how much can your computer hold? 80? 160? i have 250 gigs of music, there is no way i am living my life without three ipods, an iphone, a hard drive and a terbyte. get with the times, brah..
