Thanks. I was wondering if I should hit "yes" or "no".

Luckily, I have all the songs, scattered about on a half dozen CD's and on
a backup external hard drive and some on USB sticks. It was a pain in the
first place getting them into iTunes (I had expected a simple drag and drop

What I'll do, I think, is use one of the dozen suggested programs (so far)
which purport to upload the songs currently in my iPod to my Windows PC
