I hate iTunes for the way that it assumes the PC is master and the iPod is slave, why can't when you connect a 'new' to it iPod it ask if you want to import the music from it.

There are tools that can do it of course if you had done it before connecting it......

and of course to clarify teh point guess what Amarok under Linux does..................

you could try emailing iTunes and asking if you can get it back somehow? They must have some record of what you bought previously...
