… are strange bedfellows.

Imagine losing 2 years worth of song collection, not really much as far as actual numbers are concerned but the sentimental value of the collection and the time it took to collect personally memorable songs. The bigger FAIL is that it’s not my collection.
Here’s how it began to read on the victim’s post elsewhere:
“As of now, from 500+ songs, 20+ videos.. My iPod is empty. I spent almost two years getting my songs from different computers so rebuilding my library right now would be an entire stretch. My ears suddenly felt naked, having nothing to listen to so I desperately opened LimeWire and started typing. Guess what was the first thing I downloaded? xxx“
And here’s a lesson I could have learned well in advance:
“I just got my EEE and hooked up my Ipod before reading this thread. Now my Ipod shows no songs when I unhook it from the computer. However, when I rehook it up, it still plays everything through the media player. I’m assuming this is a similar issue to what everyone else is having.”
The writer’s assumption is valid. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. Here’s the thread on the Eeeuser Forum.
So I did some research to do damage-control. Don’t know if the software on this site could help. I just texted the aggrieved party asking if she has done a factory reset of the iPod preparatory to rebuilding the collection.
Her reply, “yeah, a few hours ago”.
Oops Strike 2!
Perhaps I should get a copy of ASUS PC for Dummies ?
