I lost 90% of my itunes library, but my ipod is intact- what's the easiest way to restore my library?

Question

i've been trying to load videos to my ipod, thats when things went awry.

Answer 1

try doing this (it works if you have a pc): Connect the iPod to the computer.
Open iTunes, do not change the library link to your library, click on the iPod in the source list.
Check ENABLE DISK USE, and click APPLY
Open My Computer, and click on the iPod
Go to TOOLS->FOLDER OPTIONS->and click the VIEW tab
Under HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS, click SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS, click OK
Click on the IPOD_CONTROL folder, then the MUSIC folder inside
Highlight all of the folders “F--“ and copy them into a new folder on your hard drive somewhere.
Open iTunes, click FILE-> ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY, and click on the folder you just made with all of the F-- folders in it, click OK
iTunes should start adding the music into your library

Answer 2

If you didn't delete the library then it should still be on your hard drive.
