I keep losing songs!
[392 byte] By [Bowlerguy92] at [2007-11-11 20:23:49] 
Everytime that I reformat and then use the show all system folders trick for my iPod and then drag and drop all of the music files manually back into iTunes I always lose songs. You can see a picture of what happens here (http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/bowlerguy92/?action=view¤t=iTunesIssue.jpg) This has happened to maybe 30 songs and they are all songs I like. What am I to do?

I would suggest using the iTunes backup capability instead of using your iPod as a backup.In iTunes use File->Backup to Disc.
To restore, install iTunes after you reformat, then put the first backup disc into your drive, and follow the prompts. You'll get all your songs, playlists, ratings and playcounts restored.

How often are you reformatting? If you're having to do it often, I'd recommend getting an external HD to back up your stuff.danimal1968 at 2007-11-15 16:10:40 >

Since your library is only 5.82 GB, it would take 2 DVDs to backup. If you're stuck using CDs then it would be around 10 CDs.cjmnews at 2007-11-15 16:11:34 >
