About half a year ago I lost my hard drive, and my entire Delicious Library with it. Hundreds of entries, gone! Months later, I realized I have everything backed up to my iPod...

So the question is, can I import from my 30GB Video iPod?

Thanks, but I probably should have plugged my iPod in while DL was loaded before I asked the question. I can import directly from my iPod (but I have to do it in 'chunks' otherwise DL crashes). Thanks for your help.

I have to stop speaking too soon.

It did not work, I cannot even import one item at a time (like the first DVD in my Library) from the Notes section of my iPod. When I do, it shows up as about a dozen "empty" entries in recent Imports. Is there nothing I can do to salvage my Library?!?

Write to support (delicious@) and I'll send you an iPod recovery tool Lucas wrote. Meantime, back up your iPod's notes directory onto your local drive.
