I accidentally wiped my wife's ipod (by pressing recover), but i managed to recover the data with data rescue 2.

However, she did not know what songs were on the ipod and data rescue has only managed to get the data files, not the file names back.

I was wondering if there is a file on the ipod that stores all the song in the ipod library, if i could find this file i could just re copy all her song to the ipod.

Is there a reason you can't just re-sync it with iTunes?

As mrplow says, if the iTunes library is in tact just re-sync.

If it isn't, by 'data files' do you mean the individual MP3 / AAC (or whatever format you have) files? If so, import them back in iTunes and the song information should show up again - it's embedded in the file. If it doesn't it might have been lost during the recovery.

I have tired but the library sync is not working, Also have tried restoring the mp3's, they are named something like M00223.mp3 but the names don't appear in itunes.

The only way to do it is to listen to then all and figure out who sings the song.

dam woman :)
