791541 2009-07-13 22:58:00 My iPod (30gb) has wiped over 2000 songs .

I plugged it into the same pc as always but became alarmed when I saw it syncing itself for a very long time . Because of lack of space on pc I would load the cd into itunes, transfer to ipod and then delete from ipod library . This worked fine as long as i didn't delete songs from itunes it self .

Now ipod won't even load any new music, even stuff in the library .

Music files show up on iPod when plugged into PC but when you unplug the iPod has no music .

End result nothing on iPod . Photos are still there and all the files I use as an external hard drive, but no music .

I presume files are still on there, my questions are

1 . can I extract the 2000 odd music files?
2 . if I can't retrieve why can't I load new files onto the iPod?

Grateful for any help, and yes I know I should've backed the music up, I have 80% on CD but don't really want to have to load all again

Fire up WinAmp and see what it thinks about it. Download the ml_iPod plugin for WinAmp also:
http://www.mlipod.com

It may just save your bacon ;)

If that fails, do a Restore / Firmware Upgrade on your iPod and that should fix all issues relating to loading files onto it. ml_iPod even has some "repair" options you can try :)

Post back with how you get on with it.

Cheers


Chill.
