so, im going to restore my computer and im worried about losing my music files. especially for itunes, how can i save my itunes music and my sister's napster music?

im not super computer savy, so step by step instuctions will help(:

make sure all your itunes songs are on your ipod. then go here and download vPod to transfer your songs back once you get done.

i don't know about the napster songs though.

is that safe to download and after i finish restoring my computer..then i download that program..but the thing is..once i plug in my ipod again after restoring it..wouldnt all my songs on my ipod be deleted b/c its plugged in the computer again?

Okay, when you get your computer restored and connected, download vPod. Yes, it's safe, it's what I used to transfer my songs a while back. (maybe a year ago)

Then follow the directions the program gives you. (I'm not sure if anything has changed) It won't tell you to plug in your iPod until it's completely installed (or it prompts you to do it). Wait a couple minutes while it transfers, then all of your songs should be in your iTunes.

But make sure you don't plug in your iPod before you download vPod. iTunes will ask if you want to update your library for the new restoration you made. Make sure you click CANCEL if that happens. I did that once and I'll never regret it.

oh okay, thank you so much!..okay can anyone help me with the napster files side of my problem?
