Hey everyone, this is my first post here. nice to be here.
A while ago i removed my ipod without unmounting it. BIG MISTAKE! :( The ipod would not show any songs in itunes or on the pod.
After trying many, many data recovery programs R studio retrieved all my 80 gigs back!!! :)
most of the file names are there and the songs play back. Finally.
Now, I am hoping to restore this as an itunes library.
I found that itunes uses an xml file to hold the entire contents of the library, supposedly including the playlists and the id3 tags (??). On my recovery from the ipod, i searched and found no .xml files. I believe and hope that the ipods OS will not read xml and uses something else.
In the ipod: Root>Ipodcontrol>Itunes folder you find the 75MB file "ipodcontrol"
will this help me?
There are 2 files with playlist in their name but they both have okb. maybe the recovery didnt save them properly. I dont know
What i do know is that i am stuck, cuz i am no hacker and i am in way over my head. But i am so excited i got my 80gigs back! it was all but erased! If anyone knows how i would go about reconstructing my library so itunes can read it and import it then thank you in advance.
