Bruce, I had tons of these kind of discussions before and I really
do not need a repetition. I *do* think the dichotomy exists, and iTMS
is the living proof -- would we need it if there was no difference?

Apple planned the ITMS and iPod as a linked business from the start.

Well, if you have a backup just drag the music folders and drop them on
iTunes. It will reload them into iTunes, make a new iTunes data file
and they will be there to load on the iPod the next time you connect.
Worked like a charm for me yesterday. Now, if you didn't back up your
data before
Well, I have a partial backup, so I'm not completely screwed, just
partially. I think about 75% of my itunes library is on my iMac, so
that should help a great deal in the recovery process.

Brian,
I think that it would not have erased the files IF you were set to
manually manage playlists. There are c couple of utilities that will
load music files from an iPod to the computer. I think most of theme
have links at iPodLounge. But a backup is always best. I would NOT want

My pal lost his music collection - almost 700 songs downloaded from
iTMS - when the XP upgrade mucked up his system royally. He called
them and they gave him everything back. I guess it all depends on how
