    Hello Guys i am new to ipod although i learnt a lot of things but the only thing that i wanna ask u guys is
    every 15 or 30 day i format my pc and the itunes gets deleted from my pc and after formating with i plug my ipod into it just deletes everything from my ipod i want to know is there any software where i can just drag drop is song and movies in my ipod
    and to sync with ipod u need to have all the song in ur lib that u have perviously synced in ur ipod is there any tool or program where u can just keep on filling ur ipod without have any extra copy of it in ur lib ?

    If I were you, I would reformat your ipod with an alternate operating system such as Rockbox. Just go to their website and match your ipod up with a version of rockbox and install it. It enables drag & drop, and itunes is no longer required at all. This is very nice for people like me who for the most part don't use windows.

    ok if you format your HD all that often, run out and get an external hd, back your music folder to that external drive , once you're done just copy the entire folder back overriting the new one created when you re-install windows, then just install itunes, ones itunes is installed, just open it, all your songs, play count, play list will be there, if you are using windows, you can use sync toy, is free from Microsoft, and works great, i use it daily, so if you have a question, let me know ill guide u throw.
