If the songs are saved on the iPod, they are encrypted, and the only way that I know to reload them safely would be to have iTunes do it. Theoretically, you might be able to use some special drive-scanning software that'll find the deleted files and allow you to restore them, but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to get the iPod to recognize the files since the original File Allocation Table will probably have been overwritten to allow the files to be deleted without actually writing new data over them. If you've got a Nano or Shuffle, you are out of luck. They use Flash memory, which is so named because you can flash-erase an entire block of memory in one shot (in fact you can't actually erase it any other way, though you can simulate it by rewriting the entire block of data without the data that you wanted to delete). So, once you delete something from Flash memory, it's very, very gone.
