I found an older message with directions for doing this from a windows machine, but it doesn't seem to be possible for me.
I have a 60GB iPod Photo, and like a fool, I was so excited to get it and start filling it up, I didn't create a backup.
I used a PowerBook with the Tiger operating system and the newest update of iTunes.
Is there any way to get the songs back onto my computer, so that I can save them in another place, or am I just out of luck completely?
