A friend of mine at school told me about a program called "iDump", it apparently lets you backup your iPod to the HD. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm most certainly gonna check it out.

Which program did you use to rip cd's? I use Roxio and its always worked great for me.

well before I moved, I went thru a lot of my cds and ripped them using iTunes....it was automatic.....now its not so i have to use windoze media player....which wont actually PLAY my cd's but it will rip them to a folder so I have to then copy them into iTunes and then erase the folder off my laptop.....pretty much a PITA
Well, I've committed my first NOOB screwup already with my new I-Pod. I wanted to free up hard drive space so I deleted the music files that ITunes had created for me when I ripped the songs off my cd and transferred them to my IPOD. I didn't realize that when you do a "sync", the ITunes will then ERASE any songs that are on the IPOD which are not currently on the harddrive. I thought "sync" would just UPDATE my IPOD with any new songs that I had just ripped. Sigh.

What I do is import the songs I want from my HD into the iTunes library. iTunes will convert the songs (if necessary) and then I will manually drag the songs from the library onto my iPod via iTunes. That's it."
Thus why I stated above that I make sure iTunes is set to "manually manage my music." Live and learn. ;)
