You could not make this up.
Old PC died.Luckily had back up of music on external hard drive (EHD). Bought a new laptop. Laptop intermittently allowed access to EHD. New laptop died within 2 weeks. Got replacement laptop. Replacement can not access EHD. Discover EHD only runs up to MS XP. Find PC at work with XP that tells me that EHD may now be corrupted. Computers get changed at work. I go on holiday, old PC with XP at work scrapped.
I try to add new music to ipod via Itunes on replacement laptop, told that there is an error with ipod and it needs to be reset. Ipod actually works fine.
Ipod has 7+ years of selected music, with 85% songs rated. It has 42 playlists, including playlists based on ratings, with hundreds of legitamate free songs and limited edition remixes from a website that no-longer exists, as well as lots of songs purchased during the coca-cola & itunes promotion and songs from bands , signed and unsigned that I interviewed many years ago that I know I've lost the CDs of.
I am quite happy to let itunes reset my ipod but obviously first I need to backup the songs,playlists and ratings given that it is highly likely I will never be able to recover the music from my EHD.
Many thanks in advance
