can't help you with these, but in the future, i would recommend getting an external hard drive and backing up all of your stuff on it, and even those should be replaced every 4 or 5 years. my friend still has one of the first ipods and it still works, but he barely ever uses it. i have never had one last more than 4 years i think, without something major happening to it(the click wheel stopped on one and my last one could not be read by any computer and therefore i couldn't change any of the songs).

I had one of those. It died. The hard drive on my laptop died too. My current plan is to just keep CDs of shit I really care about, instead of ripping and reselling. Alternately, Amazon MP3 and iTunes purchases get stored in the cloud for later retrieval, if need be. I would just save my own files to my own damn cloud, but my sister's iCloud was recently corrupted, so that's not foolproof either.
