make sure that your computer has the show hidden folders turned on (not sure to turn it on tho) and connect your ipod. open it by my computer, open ipod, and the music is on one of the hidden folders

what type of ipod do you have? if you have a touch then you cant look at hidden files and find the music. you may need to pay for a program if thats the case because i had this issue a month ago and i couldnt find any free programs. but if you have an older ipod you are in luck because you can put it in disk mode or whatever its called and just drag all the music onto your computer.
