ahh. ok. thanks for that info.

this service is not in their official terms of agreement. in fact, I found a statement that basically said, if you lose it, you're out of luck or you can purchase it again. so it pays to ask!

I had actually contacted them regarding the theft so that the person that had my computer and iPod couldn't download music from my account (I now have it set-up so that I have to enter my password when I access the store), and the customer service person I was dealing with let me know that I could re-download my music.

When my iPod and computer got stolen last summer, iTunes allowed me to deauthorize my account on that iPod and that computer, and then reauthorize it on my new computer and iPod. They then gave me the opportunity to redownload all the music I had purchased through iTunes onto the new system. The only drawback is that if the song is no longer in their library, or if the way they had it coded in their system has changed, you won't get that particular song. Just know that there might be a couple of songs you go to download again that you won't get because of this issue.

I can recommend senuti. used it, works great. not free but I think the trial will let him retrieve 1000 songs.

Thanks Scott!

ipo drip is a funny kind of name.

so I was poking around and found this info. it looks like you can retrieve music from your ipod back to you computer using iTunes 7 or later. This only works for purchased music. if he needs to retrieve ripped CDs, he'll have to use another program.

sorry for the long post. it was a popup window and I couldnt link to it.

Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Introduction

If you purchased items from the iTunes Store and the only place you have them stored is on your iPod or iPhone, you can transfer them to any computer that is authorized for your iTunes Store account using iTunes 7 or later. This feature adds an extra layer of protection against losing your valued purchases.

How To

If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. To authorize, follow these steps:

Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
Enter your Apple ID or AOL screen name and password, then click the Authorize button.

If the iTunes Store purchases on your iPod or iPhone were purchased with multiple accounts, you will need to authorize the computer for each one.

To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer, follow these steps:

Connect your iPod or iPhone to the computer. If your iPod is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
Click the Transfer Purchases button.

iTunes will begin copying any purchases made with any account that the computer is authorized for.

If when you connect your iPod or iPhone you are not prompted by the dialog above, it could be that the option "Do not ask me again" was previously selected. Fortunately, there are two more ways you can copy your purchases from your iPod or iPhone.

After connecting your iPod or iPhone to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod from the File menu.

Or, you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.

What I like about the iPod: 1) I can have my music with me when I'm commuting on the bus and 2) I love the sometimes serendipitous nature of Shuffle Play (last week, I was on the bus on my way home and "Dirty Water" by The Standells came on - and I looked out the window and saw a vehicle right next to me with two - count 'em, two - Red Sox Nation stickers on it - no small feat in Austin, Texas).

What I don't like about the iPod: 1) iTunes software that seems to be under the mistaken belief that its method of organization is preferable to *my* method of organization and 2) that it has eliminated the joy of putting a CD (or even vinyl - yes, we still have and still purchase vinyl, with a lovely DJ quality turntable) on and listening to it in order over and over again, learning the lyrics and having the artist-suggested segues ingrained into my brain.
