Dumb mistake. Need Help.

I accidently just erased my 5,000 song library from my mac because I was trying to transfer to an external hard drive. Now the library isn't on the mac or the hard drive, but all my songs are still on my ipod. Can I move them back to my computer from there? Thanks!

yeah iPodRip works perfectly, i transferred like 6,000 songs and it added them to iTunes without any problem. Good Luck!

Yes you can by using your iPod as an external hard drive.

I am hoping this will help me in my situation. I just accidently hit the erase button when the time machine app prompted me to do so...I just lost a ton of vids, pics, music, docs.....Anyone have any advice? How can I recover this data?
