Update:
My hard drive has completely failed - they cannot recover any data. I have lost hundreds of photos and my entire iTunes library, none of which I backed up. Everything. Gone. I admit that part is my fault, but after not being able to use Time Machine when I initially tried, I gave up and figured I'd back it up later. Despite my own fault, I find it irritating all the same. Oh, and then my car got towed, I had to chase it around town, and pay about 100 bucks to recover it. Oh, plus the cost of the ticket which I found on the windshield after I retrieved it. Oh, and I failed another practice section today on the bar.
See the follow pictures for how I feel about the situation (aka objective fact):
Did my computer just crash? Is it refusing to turn on? Is it freezing instead of booting up? Is this something that happened without any reason out of the blue? Did I have to make a freakin' appointment at the Macstore? Do I now hate Macs?Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES.
Suck it Justin Long.

Dude, if your music is still on your iPod (or whatever portion of it you have on it), then that's all recoverable with no problem:

Still, total suckage. Sorry. Soon, though, you'll be able to buy computers and use them to light cigars, just for fun.
moneymoneymoney mo-ney... MO-ney!
Also, fuck iTunes:
www.mp3sparks.com (formerly allofmp3.com)
www.amazon.com/mp3
Cheap, high quality on the former (though probably technically illegal), just like iTunes without the DRM on the latter.
Sweet. Thanks dude.
But, does that work on the songs I downloaded from iTunes? Or have i lost those?
Can you either reauthorize your computer or authorize the second incarnation of your computer to play the downloaded music you got from iTunes? I think you're allowed to authorize up to 5 computers to play each downloaded song ... so maybe the music isn't lost.

We both know you secretly wish you were Indian. So enjoy.
Senuti should work for anything you have on there (videos included). You may have to reauthorize it on the new computer, but that shouldn't be a problem and the Apple folks should be able to take care of it if it is.
(four two-letter i-words in a row!)
H. Did this happen to recently? Or why are you such a goldmine of iPod information? Don't you own some sort of non-apple mp3 player that you keep in an Altoids tin?
hey! your hard drive failed? that happened to me on one of my macs. it sucks.
senuti is the shit. as h said, if you pull itunes tracks from your ipod it'll just ask for your password at best or you'll have to use an authorization at worst.
you should always back up your files, yo. PCs have untrustworthy software, macs have untrustworthy hardware. this is the compy coda.
I have no problem with itunes but I rarely use the store due to Apple's fucked up DRM policies.
Yeah....iTunes was just SO MUCH EASIER than I ever expected. I wanted a song, type it in, click ok, and it was automatic.
I'll def give senuti a shot, though I will not disclose which albums I must salvage for fear of losing my rights to testicles and male friends.
The altoids tin MP3 player was, if you remember, among the GOLDMINE of stolen shit that we were relieved of in Philly.
After a hiatus, I bought an iPod video and haven't looked back. There's still a lot to be said for non-iPods (FM radio is a big one -- but I get a lot of my NPR in the form of podcasts now, so it's not quite as crucial), but Apple stuff is pretty slick.
I'm go for iPhone as soon as we get back to Nashville in August (assuming they're back in stock in TN by then).
I still refuse to buy DRM-ed stuff though, so I do a lot of messing around with conversion, especially of videos (and a lot of putting stuff on and taking stuff off the iPod)...
So what you're saying is that you're going to put up a server and upload all of your shit onto that server.
Btw, NPR podcasts are AMAZING. AND as I discovered yesterday, you can stream local NPR stations on iTunes. For Example, WBUR Boston NPR is great, and I just stream that sometimes.
I thought your bike got stolen.

I suppose that's better than typing (shifty eyes)...but I took this picture a long time ago. I just never used it.
