I'm so fuckin far behind in life. I just got my first IPOD. It's an awesome one too. It holds 2500 songs and 10 hrs of video(8 gigs?) and it's about 4 inch by 1 inch big, about a millimeter thick and no weight. It's so great to be able to take everything from my Shadows Fall, Killswitch, Metallica discs to Pink Floyd and the doors and store it all in one tiny little portable object. All of me cd covers are cracked and every cd has at least one scratch so they're worth nothing. Once everything is stored in my Ipod, I can finally have cd closure and give them all away. My father can use them for his car since he likes the same music I do. I'm going to try and save everything on my Itunes page on disc and never have to deal with cds again, even if I lose my IPOD. And if I lose my IPOD and have to get a new one and somehow lose my stored music, there's always Limewire!

If you get a new computer or have to do a system reset download a program called idump afterwords and you can get all your music back for free. Just google it and it should be your top choice.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. That was actually going to be my next question but you beat me to it. I figured there had to be a web page that stored the info for you. Kind of like when you lose a phone and they have a page to keep your contacts stored

Not bad considering I don't even have an ipod myself huh? We just got a new computer and I had to figure that out for my wife so its not as pathetic as it sounds.

I was thinking your Itunes on the local computer holds a copy of each song you rip and download? no? Champ better keep the cd for a few more months until you are a master of the ipod tech.

But if something happens to the computer you can get your music back on itunes. You have to recreate your playlists but its not that big of a deal.

I've been looking for excuses to get rid of my cds anyway. So even if I lose a cd with my favorite material, I just download it back off Limewire. Any cd I've lost along the way, I've only missed my Metallica Ride the Lightening disc since I loaned it to my Uncle years ago(he passed away 3 years ago. I'm not sure if my aunt found it) but, I'll just download them now! It's great that they've finally made music so convenient

The easiest thing to do might be to buy a cheap external hard drive and back up your files on that. I find itunes irritating. It takes far too long to transfer files with it.

As far as I'm aware, if you have the files saved on your computer/hard drive, then they will remain in your itunes and thus on your ipod. I'm not sure if you move or delete your music files from your computer that they stay in itunes the next time you open the program. You're best just checking and double checking everything before binning all your hardware.
P.S. Take ten minutes and read about torrents. Then download a program and start using torrents to get some music. You can get entire libraries of various artists that way.

The best thing to do is never erase anything off your ITunes page. That way it'll definitely be there on any computer if you lose your Ipod. I also permitted use to 5 computers which means I can go to 4 other computers and get all my info too
