Recover db from ipod ?????

Can the iPod DB be recovered? **Please **

After a failed upgrade to osx 10.5 i decided to put 10.4 back on only ti find to my horror that my music (itunes) folder was missing on my backup

Anyway I managed to get all the musics I had brought from itunes back from my ipod, and after buying a little app ipodcopy (I think) i managed to recover all the other songs from the ipod saving me ripping them from CD = saving a lot of time !!!!

My only issue is i dont have all my ratings etc is there anyway of getting these from the ipod and loading into iunes on the mac????

I'm realy hopping there is a way of doing this is I use the rating information quite a lot for smart playlists etc....
