Several months ago I nearly had a heart attack. Not really, but I felt like I was going to have one when my hard drive crashed and my entire music collection (worth thousands of dollars) went with it.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I remembered that my music library was, for the most part, loaded on my iPod Touch. As soon as I got my new computer, I downloaded iTunes and planned to download my music back to the new computer. I was shocked when I discovered that iTunes did not have an option to sync from my iPod to iTunes. It only gave me the option to sync from the iTunes library back to the iPod, which would effectively wipe out my entire music collection. That was simply not an option as I am sure you can understand.

I was quite angry at this point and frustrated that all the money I had spent on my music collection was about to get flushed down the toilet. I actually contemplated buying a new iPod so I would not have to ever sync the old one, but I eventually thought better of it.

After a day long cooling off period, I started researching other options. I called some local computer repair guys. They were worthless. I called Best Buy, where I bought my computer, and they too were of no help.

I then turned to my friend Yahoo (yes, I'm one of the few people out there who actually prefer Yahoo to Google). I quickly read a couple of tutorials for transferring music back to a computer. Although they gave me hope, I was simply too afraid to try any of the techniques because I thought I would screw it all up.

I then ran across a program called Lenogo iPod to PC Transfer. It was exactly what I wanted. It even had a free trial so I could test it out. Without a moment's thought, I downloaded the demo version, installed it on my computer and fired it up.

I then connected my iTouch to the computer. Inside the Lenogo interface, I was able to see all of the songs, playlists and even videos on my iPod. I then selected a folder in My Documents where I wanted to copy all of the data and hit the submit button. In about 15 to 20 minutes, I was done. All of the data was on my computer and ready to use.

I then ran iTunes and imported the music back into the library and re-synced the iPod. It was truly a piece of cake. If you find yourself in a similar position, do not panic. All is not lost!
