    Search how to put songs from an iPod onto your iTunes (on google). There are bunch of freeware programs out there that can do it. I don't know if there are knew versions of it, but one program is called iPod Agent. And theres also a back door way to get your stuff on, but I'm not sure.

    whatever you do, don't sync when you plug the ipod in to your computer.

    are the lost songs in your recyle bin?

    Assuming you are using Windows go to My Documents and My Music and iTunes and see if the files are there. If they are there then import that folder into iTunes.

    If the files are not there DO NOT PLUG IN THE IPOD. Assuming it is set to automatically sync you will lose everything on your iPod. Use one of the solutions above to transfer the files from the iPod to iTunes.

    I did that once when I first got my iPod. Very frustrating lesson.

    This is what I did, and I got back 3400 songs. Thank you for your help.

    My pleasure. Hopefully the 800 songs you didn't get back weren't important. :o

    The other 800 songs are probably located elsewhere on your PC. Remember, whatever is displayed in iTunes actually resides elsewhere on your 'puter. In fact, you could delete all of the real MP3 files (don't) and next time you open iTunes it will look like they are still there until you go to play one of them.

    Nope, that's the Zune player. The Zen is made by Creative.
