IPOD GONE GONE

My life with my Ipod has ended for the moment. My ipod for some reason wont work, i wasbacking up my songs from ipod onto a program on my laptop and for some reason the ipod wontwork now and it wont reset, so a local computer tech is having a look at it, but isnt looking good,and if that wasnt enough my computer is getting fixed the now, and means all the stuff will beswiped and inculding my 5,000 songs on my Itunes. So looks like its back to square one. Its a pity becasue a lot of the albums are from the Libaray rental service. There is this weeks nightmare.
