How can un-corrupt my ipod without deleting all my music off it?

Question

Ok long story. A while back I lost all 40 something GBs of music off my network hard drive when it crashed. Fortunately I had it all saved on my iPod. I downloaded Senuti to my iBook which is an open source iPod management program to transfer the music from the iPod back to my network. However, while it was copying, the iPod was disconnected by another member of my household. The songs still play off the iPod but when I tried to reconnect it, a message read saying, iPod corrupted use restore to reset to factory settings. If I use restore, then all the music will be erased from the iPod and I won't be able to get it back. I have tried restarting the iPod multiple times. What can I do?

Answer 1

Try this (it may work, and I say 'may' because that has never happened to me):
From the Desktop, go to My Computer and click once (or select/highlight) on the iPod, (usually drive E: or F:). Go to Tools > Folder Options > View (the tab) > scroll to Show Hidden Files and Folders and select it. Click OK. Look in the iPod drive, and find a folder called iPod_Control and open it. You'll see the Music folder. In it will be folders named F00, F01 and so on. Inside of these folders are your songs. Copy them onto your computer. They will have weird 4-letter names which have nothing to do with their original names, so listen to each of them and rename them once they are in your computer. Then just import them into your library. Later, click the 'uncorrupt' button or whatever that button it's called, and that's it.
As I said before, it may work.
