Default Is it possible to sync your ipod onto a new itunes without loosing your music when ..

you have no backup data

Everything on my pc was recently deleted and my pc began to work again. However, I want to put a new album on my ipod through i tunes but I've realised although most of my songs are backed up some favourites aren't and I can't lose them.

Can't you just copy the files off of the iPod and import those into iTunes from your computer? If not, then Apple are shit, because pretty much every other MP3 player since they first came into existence has worked like that.

I remember back in the day, i got a new PC and didn't have any of my old music collection. I hooked up my Ipod, found all the files on it, dragged them onto my new PC and then used a program to convert them all back to MP3's

I can view my ipod files on itunes and even play them I think but I can't seem to copy it onto the pc. I don't know what I should save the song as.

That would absolutely obliterate the quality.

They didn't suffer too much if i remember correctly but it was a long, long time ago now. I ended up jus starting again and keeping back ups of everything, easier and safer.
