Are you sure everything is wiped? It could be just a corrupted database, although it seems a bit odd if it happened due to an impact.
How much used disk space does it show when connected to a computer? If it has a large portion used it means that the tracks are still there and can be extracted. No tags are lost since you are basically copying and pasting the mp3 files.
If you already went trough this and are positive that the tracks are indeed wiped, then iTunes is very practical for re-tagging. Another good software is mp3tag. ;) |

Yep everything is wiped. And I d/led mp3tag...but I don't really know how to use it. Can someone give me a tutorial? What do I do after I import files?
edit: nevermind. Just found a good tutorial. |

Does my head in when people use metadata out of context/unecessarily.....
Just say ID3 tags. That's what they are. |

just get ifunbox or something and grab the .mp3 back off the ed up pod and just drag that back into itunes, apple kills the filenames but leaves the ID3 tags...well 95% of the time anyway.
but yeah. you're probably better off just feeding the .mp3 into some tag program thing and let that do the work.
alright, forget the ifunbox idea, i didnt read the wiped bit.
do the ID3 tag idea. that will fix it. ofc it will. |

Yeah...the issue is not really with the wiped ipod - it's that my bf's music is all horribly labeled. I just want to tidy it up for him so that when he reloads his ipod, he can actually find and there aren't duplicates of tunes, etc.
I figured it out though. :) |

| Does anyone know of software that will scan through your directories and rename ml3 files to match their ID3 tags? I have a load of music (~120gb) that is named in different formats and it would take forever to manually rename everything |

I don't get it.
I can't even find 30 tracks I can listen to let alone 6000 tracks. |
