Here's the situation...

I've got an iPod mini (4g) and I have a lot of music I bought from the Music Store. About 200 dollars worth.
I had a problem with my PC, basically, the hard drive had to be changed (Thanks Dell! Next time I'm getting a Mac!) and so now when I plug in my iPod to the computer, it asks me if I want to delete all the music on the iPod and link the iPod the my iTunes library.
I did not back up my music.
Is there any way I could recuperate my music from the iPod?

Thanks!!!

Hey Jayhaye,

I suggest waiting for someone else to reply because I'm not sure my suggestion is the best route, but check out this page:

Good luck!

Try EphPod. I had an incident with the hard drive I had my music on, and EphPod saved the day. It has an option to download the music to a folder on your computer, which will give you what you want. Just uninstall iTunes first - setting it to not automatically recognize the iPod, or to not automatically start when the iPod is plugged in was not effective for me.
