you have to start all over, which sucks.
THe only songs you can transfer are ones you actually paid for on iTunes.

You can definitely still save those files.

Do you use PC or mac?

When you look at your iPod while it is hooked up, click on the little tab for it on iTunes.  Click on the tabs at the top of the screen which say things like Music, Photos, etc.  One of those tabs will have something regarding iPod syncing.

You can transfer new songs onto your iPod without losing the songs you already have on it. I've done it before, but I don't really remember how. :S

I think you just turn off auto-sync, plug in the iPod, and can drag the new songs from your computer library (via the iTunes window) onto your iPod, and it should transfer.

My computer

show hidden files

go like, "music" or something

navigate until you find a folder that has like 30 different folders, each marked with a number

drag all these folders into one folder on your comp

tada

Wow, there's some pretty creative ways to save your music. Here's my suggestion, which I'm surprised isn't out here already.

Step one:
Plug in your iPod
Step two:
Go to your iPod device in iTunes, and there should be two different options. One is auto-sync, and the second is manually add songs to your iPod. Click on the second one, so you are now manually managing your iPod's songs.

This way, you can keep all of your songs that are already on, plus, any new songs you have, you just drag into your iPod.

The bonus of this is that you can now go over to your friends house, and drag any music or videos you want onto your iPod from their iTunes, without having to sync to theirs either.

The disadvantage is that you can't sync everything of yours all at once, you have to add new songs manually.
