Yep. I stand corrected.

Nah, its my wifes ipod, I don't even know where she keeps it and she wasn't there.

If it was lying around within range maybe Bonjour could have picked it up?

Just guessing, I don't use iTunes much and I have never had an iPod. Daffy will suss it out soon enough I reckon.

The OS X detractors who do well to take note that it is so good it can restore from back-ups THAT DON'T ACTUALLY EXIST!!

A mystery for sure. Good news is you have your songs back. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Out of curiosity, what folder/s do you have defined as your iTunes library?

^I'd not checked that, but just did and there were 4 files in there that I've not seen before.

Location: Music/iTunes

New Files: iTunes Library
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Music Library.xml

This thread got to be a troll!
There is always a viable explanation.
So far you have dodge them all.
Reckon you've always had your music and thus using this opportunity to brag about your new Macbook.

Thats right you've got me! I'm bragging about loosing my computer in a taxi.

They are all under 1000kb except for the xml file which is 3.4mb. And they all just open up itunes except for the xml which opens in Dreamweaver.

See edit above.

Yeah its the same foulder. Music:iTunes:iTunes music

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant that those 4 files were in there along with the music files.

I am pretty sure his wife messed around with the iPOD and downloaded it all,

then with his iTunes subscription, the Apple store downloaded automatically the missing album and the iTunes personal profile

I have heard so many nightmare stories involving iPOD and iTunes sync that it got to be this, despite silly Quack Quack claiming otherwise
(he is a misguided fool)

From what FP is saying, only the library files are there, not the actual music. Seems like iTunes kept a record online and DL'd the library when it was reinstalled or reactivated.

Nah all the music is here aswell. I'll ask the wife whats going on when she gets home from work.

Says the Mac basher who just owned up to owning 12 Macs and was proven wrong at the top of page 2 in this thread. C'mon 'fly, give it up man, you are burning out.

Your "silly Quack Quack" has nailed your arse to the wall in every Mac or OS X thread you have posted in.

Well well, using irrelevant Battlestar Galactica references is certainly going to solidify your credibility in a comp support forum where you recently jumped the shark! Go back to WoW and leave the adults to talk amongst themselves mate.

Conversation should go something like this.

FP - Hi babe. How was your day?

Wife - Good. (if response is "crap" end conversation. Other wise proceed)

FP - Hey thanks for putting the music on my computer. Saved me a lot of time.

Path 1:

Wife - No problem.
FP - How did you do it?
Wife - (tells all)

Path 2:

Wife - I didn't put the music on the computer.
FP - Hmmm. Strange it's all there. Must have some automatic backup. Will have the guys on TD sort it.

Your sarcasm detector needs re-calibrating.

Without going through every post here I reckon Princey has unwittingly repurchased one of the phones he lost before that has a new model casing on it.

Seems ur wife is the smarter one.

As already mentioned.
