itunes advice please
 

looking for any advice anyone may have

i recently got my computer reformatted due to a virus. i got the computer back and plugging my iphone in it has the songs that are on my iphone, but 0 songs in my actual itunes library. is there a way to get the songs from the iphone and into the library or do i completely have to start over. any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Is your itunes library still on the computer? Should be in the My Music file.

Not long ago I borrowed a friends 30gig Ipod and transfered his music onto my computer by exploring the Ipod as a physical drive, when I found the hidden music files I simply copy & pasted them onto my computer. Some files carried over their information others didn't.

nope the guy wiped everything. its no problem though most of the songs i guess i didnt really listen to so my itunes is going on a diet and im just gona reload all my cds and download music as i go

I used to use iTunes...I switched to WMP. Less restrictive. Good luck re-adding everything, haha...stuff takes hours! How many songs did you have in there?

about 1500 songs, but there were ALOT that had a play count of 0 or less than 5 (mostly rap, cant spell crap without rap, yadig?)

Itunes itself when you log into it will remember all the songs you payed to download so you can re download them if needed.

songs? paid?...im 20, this is 2009. lol.

its ok guys problem solved...just rebuilding my library. thanks for all the help and suggestions, i appreciate it.

There is software out there than can read the file names of your ipod and you can save them to your computer... :google:

sharepod by jeffrey harris works for ipods. don't know if he has it for an iphone yet.
