Man that sucks Dan. I just got a 2 gig Nano for my girlfriends for her birthday. She loves it. Now I gotta download music, Ugghhh . Later Ryan

Ya, Im bummed but I think I found a way to recover it. Its going to take nine years to complete but Ill get it back. I loved my nano when I worked for apple. I sold it to pay for a new dart pump. :)

Hey at least you have your priorities, :). Yeah Im pretty impressed with the whole Itunes thing also. Much easier to play and sort music than crappy Windows Media Player. Later Ryan

oh ya, iTUnes is way better however I dont like that when you buy music you cant play it without a password. ITs yorur music, so you should be able to share it without a password.

Ohh i didnt know that. I havent downloaded any music from them yet. I just transferred my old mp3's. Later ryan

Can't you just restore windows back to before you deleted the stuff?

[drock59]

Dammit, I always forget about windows restore....but wait....does that restore things like music? I thought it was just settings?

[impur]

Might be, not sure i don't use it often. I don't know if it restores lost files.

[impur]

Checked on it, and it looks like thats a no. Oh well
