This was bound to happen...

[eyesawred2]

All this tinkering around with my mac as resulted in tragedy. I just deteled 2,000+ songs. Yes, I did. "Didn't you backup your music?" Where do you think I deleted it from? Yes I am an ass. Big, hairy ass. But I am getting my purchased music back. But, all my "other" downloads are gone. I deserve it.

Oh my. Sorry for you lose. You don't have all of it on an iPod per chance?

 

[eyesawred2]

A few of them. Can this be fixed?

 

[MarkMS]

Try iPod Rip to get the music from the iPod to your computer.

See if this article helps.

Yep, download an app called Senuti (iTunes backwards) it´s really good and it works well

you can re-rip your collection, this time using aac and a higher bit rate. using a newer version of itunes could make it go faster.

oh wait, you meant pirated music. nevermind.

What was that? Sorry, I couldn't hear you from all the way up there on your horse

That sucks!!! I need to back up my stuff. I have a gift card for Best Buy and want to get an external hard drive but been putting it off.

Yup, Senuti is a great program to transfer music/video from your iPhone/iPod to another computer; it's limited to the number of files you can transfer if you are not willing to pay the fee for unlimited transfers...

Sorry. You look so small and insignificant based on my view from my horse, which I am able to afford because I EARN things instead of stealing them.

What I meant to say is that the OP deserves zero sympathy because he lost what he stole in the first place.

It's good that he got his purchased music back, but I have a smug look on my face because of karma

I guess he pirated them. Is that what "other downloads" meant? I have only 300 purchased songs in my iTunes DB; the other 5300+ are ripped from CDs (legally).

 

[99MustangGTman]

Yeah if its on ur ipod just use that program to switch it back to ur itunes

 

[RTiii320]

sorry to hear.. i had a problem like this and ended up having to buy a program that allowed me to transfer from iphone to macbook.. pain in the butt i know, however as long as you got the songs on your ipod still you should be alright.

 

[eyesawred2]

I guess I'll just sign-up for a Rhapsody account. I am too lazy to move the songs from my iPod to my mac-daddy. Mass stupidity...

 

[aluminumapple]

is there a free program you could use ?senuti costs to transfer alot : (

 

[NewMacbookPlz]

Unless his iPod is an iPhone, he can get the songs back by accessing the iPod like a hard-drive.

Make sure hidden files are shown. Open up the hidden folder, I forget its name off the top of my head, and all your songs are in there. The file names are gibberish 4 digit alphanumeric names, but iTunes reads the song title/artist/album from the tag information.

 

[muldul]

I'm very sorry for that terrible loss

 

[dL.]

I guess that's when Time Machine really comes in handy

[eyesawred2]

Wow

I will just give away my apple. Forgive me for "stealing" music and deleting it. O' Lordy I'll never download illegally again!!

Free mac here....not really.
